Healthy and intelligent soundscapes for indoor spaces
Why natural soundscapes?
Our ears evolved outdoors
The sounds of nature tell us whether a space is safe and nourishing. When we hear these sounds, our brains and bodies relax. Natural sounds are also really effective at masking distractions like speech.
Moodsonic uses technology and science to bring the benefits of natural sound indoors.
Focus +30%
In open spaces, Moodsonic’s soundscapes can mask distractions and improve cognitive functioning.
Collaboration +20%
The soundscapes can improve collaboration, creativity and problem solving.
Restoration +10%
And they calm people’s brains and bodies to create more restorative spaces.
Noise is the #1 complaint in buildings. Our positive, science-led approach can measurably improve people's experiences.
Activity-based soundscapes
Nature-based soundscaping can benefit different activities including focused work, creative thinking and restoration – even compared to silence. It’s the optimal sound for reducing speech distractions. And it’s subjectively preferred to common background sounds such as white noise.
Sensory zoning
Moodsonic can be used to consciously design different options throughout a building to suit a variety of sensory preferences. In some areas the sound can stimulate and energize, and in others it can be used for calm and respite.
Generative and responsive
All of Moodsonic’s content is created generatively, which means it never repeats. The system also responds to changing environments based on real-time information to ensure content is always optimized to the environment.
User control
Moodsonic allows for direct user control in smaller designated areas, like meeting spaces or wellness rooms. Employees can choose from a selection of soundscape options, bringing a positive element of control.
Enhancing sense of place
Design for wellbeing is most effective when all the senses aligned. Moodsonic can elevate the impact of visual biophilia, unique interior design concepts, lighting schedules, local place, culture and more.
