Worship Spaces
Houses of worship are multi-purpose venues with various acoustic requirements. In the space where service takes place, audible speech is a necessity and, usually, music plays a role.
These facilities often accommodate administrative and counseling offices. The conversations taking place in these areas require speech privacy. Even in closed office settings, doors and slab-to-slab walls are usually not enough to ensure speech privacy. Poor door seals, gaps between walls and window mullions, breaks in the plenum barriers, and improperly designed or treated HVAC components, can provide clear paths for overhearing confidential discussions.
Sound masking can help a house of worship reach its full potential for speech privacy.

“For the past 3 years, Bayside Church has offered counseling in an office complex that was an improvement over our old facility, but which had a major problem: noise transmission.
This issue was of great concern, especially when dealing with sensitive and confidential information. The counseling offices are located between two busy
office areas. Being able to hear someone’s voice from the adjoining office or hallway disturbed us as counselors and worried our clients.
We tried several methods to minimize the problem, including adding wall and ceiling insulation, caulking cracks, installing carpet sweeps underneath doors, etcetera. While we experienced some improvement, we still had a major problem.
Then someone suggested we try a sound masking system. If we felt any initial skepticism, it was totally eliminated as we walked into a radically improved counseling setting. Wow, what a difference! We no longer worry about noise between offices and our clients are at ease knowing their conversations are truly confidential. Even the noise in the hall is greatly reduced and people pass by unaware of what is taking place in the counseling offices.
The sound masking system is now a natural part of our facility, raising the bar and making us a much more professional counseling setting. We can highly recommend the LogiSon Acoustic Network for even the most challenging office applications.”
