Acoustic Solutions

Bassett Office Furniture Office offers a variety of acoustic solutions to fit your sound proofing needs.

Active sound masking  involves electronic systems that emit a low-level, unobtrusive background noise (often resembling soft airflow or white/pink noise) through speakers to mask unwanted sounds.

How it works:

• Small speakers are installed in ceilings or other strategic locations.
• A sound masking generator produces consistent background noise.
• This noise makes conversations and other sounds less intelligible or noticeable.

Passive sound masking uses physical materials and architectural elements to absorb, block, or diffuse sound, thus reducing the ability for sound to travel or be heard clearly.

How it works:

• Materials like acoustic panels, ceiling tiles, carpeting, curtains, and partitions are used.
• These materials absorb sound energy or obstruct direct sound paths.
• No electronics or powered devices involved.
