Does a sound masking system improve speech privacy?
Speech privacy at the office helps to protect confidential company information and other sensitive matters. Whereas sound masking eliminates distractions by making speech from further away unintelligible, office pods provide privacy by blocking external sounds. They also prevent discussions had inside the pod from being overheard by others nearby. Therefore, office pods are more effective at protecting sensitive conversations, while sound masking helps to reduce noise distractions.
