When a guest arrives after a long flight, feeling stressed, tired and burdened with baggage, they want a warm welcome, a pleasant room and a restful sleep.

One of the prevailing questions for the hospitality industry is how to handle noise intrusions that affect guests’ sleep and comfort levels, as well as the productivity of business travelers.

Much of the noise from mechanical systems, elevators and recreation areas can be addressed with an appropriate layout and physical barriers. However, there should be privacy and reduced noise intrusion between guestrooms, as well as between corridors and accommodations. Blocking, adding absorptive materials and sealing out noise, or retrofitting solutions to existing space, can be difficult, time-consuming and costly.

Sound masking is easily installed in both new and existing facilities, providing an effective way to treat acoustic problems without large-scale remodeling. It provides a soothing background sound that masks disturbances, increases speech privacy, shortens the time it takes to fall asleep, and reduces sleep disruptions. The end result is a high standard of comfort.
