Abstract:
A sound management system for use by a user located within an environment includes a memory device for storing a selection of sounds. The sounds can be music and/or various “colors” of noise (e.g., white, pink, and brown). A controller is used to select one particular stored sound based on a measured biological condition of the user, such as stress or fatigue, or an environmental condition of the environment, such as ambient noise. According to one embodiment, the system is used in conjunction with a sit/stand desk and the sound selection is made in response to changes in the desk height. The selected sound is selected to help abate or mitigate distracting sounds in the environment, such as people talking. The selected sounds are played to the user through headphones worn by the user, or through nearby speakers.

Claim (Index 22):
A sound management system for use with a furniture arrangement, the system for use with sensor devices including at least a first sensor, the sound management system comprising:\n a memory device for storing a plurality of music tracks wherein each music track is audibly different than the other music tracks in the plurality of music tracks, each music track associated in the memory device with a specific user activity; and a controller linkable to a speaker, the controller controlling the speaker to generate a series of selected music tracks substantially persistently while a user occupies the furniture arrangement during a use period, the controller further programmed to receive an input from at least a first sensor device that indicates a measured biological condition of a user that occupies the furniture arrangement, the controller selecting different music track during different sub-periods of the use period based on at least the measured biological condition of the user occupying the furniture arrangement, the controller automatically transitioning from one selected music track to a next selected music track when the biological condition of the user that occupies the furniture arrangement changes.
