Although favored by many businesses, open concept working spaces aren't always the most conducive to a high-performing, productive workforce.
Office environments provide multiple distractions such as telephones ringing, conversations, and keyboard noise.
With performance being directly related to an employee's ability to focus, maintaining an acoustically-balanced working space is paramount to all employers.
White noise machines for offices are used to produce soothing background sounds that relieve stress and distraction, therefore increasing productivity and the overall ambiance of the workspace.
Some white noise machines play prerecorded noise on a loop which can be annoying. The Dohm generates noise using an internal fan. Although the sound replicates that of a fan, there is no actual air generated so the user doesn't have to worry about the temperature dropping in their room.
The Dohm couldn't be easier to operate. Plug the 7ft. cable into an outlet, choose a power setting, high or low, and listen to it work its magic. High-speed masks louder background distractions while the low fan setting creates a comfortable and soothing sound for your brain to tune into.

Although most people associate using white noise to aid insomnia, it has many other purposes, particularly in large open-plan office environments.
When people work in close proximately it is difficult not to be disturbed and distracted by the noise others make. Similarly, you might not always want work colleagues to overhear private conversations that you have.
White noise creates a barrier of soothing sounds to block out unwanted interruptions that inhibit focus.
White noise is the result of combining different sound frequencies and equally distributing them. It contains every tone that the human ear is capable of hearing.
The sound produced helps to reduce the difference heard between ambient background noise and peak sounds such as conversation, music, or loud footsteps.
To Illustrate:
It is easy to pick out one voice when 2 or 3 people converse. When 500 people talk simultaneously, it becomes impossible to understand any individual conversation as they all blend into one. Even if a singular person were to scream, the sound would be muffled by the 500 other people talking. This is the white noise effect.
It is called white noise due to its similarities to white light. All color frequencies combine resulting in white light. They become individual colors once they pass through a prism, enabling us to see them as such.
Many white noise machines have adjustable settings to allow the user to customize their acoustics.
The noise comes in many varying colors and hues. White noise is a humming sound as the noise spreads evenly across frequencies. When sound is less balanced, it manifests as a different noise shade. Experimenting with colors and tones helps the user to create their perfect noise mask.
Pink noise is a flat and even tone such as steady rain and heartbeats. It is a considered a low frequency noise and intensity decreases over time.
Brown noise has higher energy at lower frequencies to create thunderous and waterfall sounds.
Purple/blue noise covers higher frequencies and combines well with pink noise to try and mimic white noise.
Black noise is virtual silence that some people prefer to heighten their concentration levels and promote a good sleeping pattern.
There are two main types of white noise machines; Those that play a loop of white noise sound or those that generate mechanical sound.
These machines typically come pre-installed with tracks or MP3s of recorded sound. Meaning, they will play for 5 to 10 minutes (however long the track is), then stop and restart the track.
Some machines even allow you to upload your own tracks or control the machine itself via an integrated app on your cell phone.
Mechanical white noise machines are similar to that of Fan. For instance, the Marpac Dohm is a fan-based system that creates ambient sounds of rushing air. The tone is adjusted by how fast the fan spins.
White noise machines can make a big difference in office settings. They help to mask conversations and keep noises from both entering and exiting your space.
