Our Recommended Solution: Sound Masking
After careful evaluation, we recommended sound masking as the most effective and non intrusive solution. This technology works by adding a barely noticeable background sound that reduces the intelligibility of speech. Conversations remain private, but the office still feels open and comfortable.
Working with our trusted partner Sound Directions, we designed a bespoke system for this project that included:
- Sound masking speakers strategically placed throughout the meeting rooms, offices, and reception.
- Sensors in dynamic areas to automatically adjust the sound masking level in response to background noise.
- A tailored design layout based on detailed site analysis.
To give the client complete confidence, Sound Directions also supported us with a live demonstration before installation, so they could hear the difference for themselves.
Built for the Present, Ready for the Future
Another advantage of the chosen system is its flexibility. Should the company relocate in the future, the sound masking system can be transferred to their new office, making it a futureproof investment.
The Benefits for the Client
Since installation, the team has enjoyed a noticeable improvement in both privacy and comfort:
- Enhanced confidentiality, conversations are now protected, reducing the risk of being overheard.
- Better focus, by masking distracting noises, staff can concentrate more easily.
- Consistent comfort, the adaptive system ensures optimal sound levels throughout the day.
- Long-term value, with the option to relocate the system, the investment continues to pay off.

A Note from Sound Directions
“Making sure the privacy is achieved even during lively meetings but the masking noise does not interfere in quieter times made the SoftdB system the perfect candidate. Its adaptive volume system is ideal for these tricky situations. Closely working with Runtech’s team ensured smooth installation and successful commissioning. We look forward to working with them again.”
— S. B. Champeaux, Director of Sound Directions
Ongoing Partnership
Our relationship with the client doesn’t end at installation. As part of their service package, we provide an annual system health check to make sure everything is working exactly as it should, year after year.
