Sound masking is a acoustical technique used to obscure or conceal unwanted sounds in an environment, often by introducing a consistent background noise. This technique is commonly used in offices, healthcare facilities, and other environments where privacy and concentration are essential. The process involves playing a controlled sound, often resembling a soft white noise, that blends with the surrounding sounds. This added background noise can help reduce the intelligibility of conversations and other distractions, making it easier for individuals to focus on their tasks or maintain privacy.
