The category of noise control products is broad. Ear plugs could be considered noise control products. Thick carpet helps keep noise down, so that might count too. Even a piece of Duct tape might fit into this category if used to secure the mouth of the noise producing party, but please don't try this at home. The noise control products we're interested in here are white noise generators.

Sound Masking Noise Control Products

You can't always stop noise from being made. The daily movements and conversations we all must undertake at work and at home generate noise and that can't be helped. Walking around on carpeted shoes whispering to everyone is not a reasonable way to keep noise levels down. Instead, keep noise localized by masking it from spreading too far.

White noise generators mask the sounds we make. The sounds are normal intensity in the immediate vicinity of the source. That means you can have a normal phone conversation or discussion with the person in front of you, but your voice is stopped before it travels far from you. The people across the room or down the can't hear what your saying. Your voice is relegated to background noise that is indistinguishable from other sounds.

Not only are these generators noise control products, but they're privacy protectors too. Since your voice does not carry beyond the person to whom you're speaking, unwanted listeners cannot overhear your private conversations. This technology is often used in medical offices, government offices, legal settings, and businesses dealing in very confidential information.
