Which categories are less able to filter out the background noise and concentrate on the source? This category also requires a greater signal-to-noise ratios.

Children younger than 15, people with hearing impairment, non-native speakers of a language, and older adults

Children younger than 15, and non-native speakers of a language

Non-native speakers of a language and older adults

No Fewer than 40 studies have linked noisy enviroments to:

Poor Concentration and poor test scores among school children

Poor cognition, poor comprehension, poor concentration, and poor test scores among school children

Poor concentration, poor cognition, higher rates of misbehaviour in the class room and a higher rate of dropouts

What is Sound Masking?

Is a neutral, virtually inaudible sound introduced into the work enviroment

Is a neutral, loud sound introduced into the work enviroment, generated by speakers located in the ceiling plenum

Is a neutral, virtually inaudible sound introduced into the work enviroment, generated by speakers located in the ceiling plenum

Is when the accoustics are so well maintained and installed no sound gets heard

Sound Masking is designed to correct both problems of (blank) and (blank.)

Too little background sound and too little noise

Too much pink noise and brown noise

Too much noise and too little background sound

What is the goal to of Sound Masking (SM)?

The goal of SM is to decrease distractions, increase privacy, and enhance comfort

The goal of SM is to decrease pink noise

The goal of SM is to masking all noise creating a silent space

Check Items that are TRUE for White Noise.

White Noise decreases concentration and production

White Noise uses frequencies played in slow succession, the brain then combining them into a fuzzy hiss of static

White Noise sounds low pitched because our brains decrease the sound in this higher region, causing them to seem softer than they really are

White Noise contains sounds from all across the frequencies we can hear, much the same as Blue light contains frequencies we can see

White Noise encourages more concentration and more production, but is found to be uncomfotable, even painful by some

White Noise sounds high pitched because our brains amplify sound in this higher region, causing them to seem louder than they really are

White Noise contains sounds from all across the frequencies we can hear, much the same as white light contains all the colors of the rainbow or all the frequencies we can see

White Noise uses frequencies played in fast random succession, the brain then combining them into a fuzzy hiss of static

Check Items that are TRUE for Pink Noise.

Pink Noise has near equal sound energy at each octave band

Pink Noise produces random points of static - a random noise generator

Pink Noise does not have equal sound energy at each octave band

With Pink Noise, the volume of the higher frequencies is dampened, for a deeper more balanced listening experience.

With Pink Noise, the volume of the higher frequencies is heightened, for a high hissing sound

Pink Noise is noise is a myth and does not exist
