Sony has launched a new sound masking system designed for open-plan offices. The system aims to improve focus and reduce distractions in busy workspaces. It uses advanced audio technology to create a consistent background sound that covers up conversations and other noises. This helps employees concentrate better without feeling overwhelmed by surrounding activity.

The new system is easy to install and works with existing office setups. It includes ceiling-mounted speakers and smart controls that adjust the sound level based on real-time noise conditions. Sony says the system adapts automatically throughout the day as office activity changes. This means workers get steady acoustic comfort without manual adjustments.
Office managers can control the system through a simple app. They can set different zones for sound levels depending on team needs or room use. The design is meant to be unobtrusive so it blends into modern office interiors without drawing attention. Sony focused on making the hardware quiet and visually minimal.
Early testing in pilot offices showed positive results. Employees reported fewer interruptions and improved privacy during calls or focused tasks. Managers noted a drop in complaints about noise levels. Sony believes this system addresses a growing need as more companies return to shared office spaces.
The sound masking technology builds on Sony’s long experience in audio engineering. It uses proprietary algorithms to produce a natural-sounding background tone that is not distracting. Unlike white noise, the sound is tuned to match human speech frequencies. This makes conversations harder to overhear without creating an artificial or harsh environment.

Sony plans to roll out the system to commercial clients starting next month. Pricing and installation details will be available through authorized business partners. The company says it will offer support and customization for larger office deployments.
