Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for addressing open space noise are disclosed. In one example, a method for masking open space noise includes receiving a sensor data from a sensor arranged to monitor an open space over a time period. The method includes generating a predicted future noise parameter in the open space at a predicted future time from the sensor data. The method further includes adjusting a sound masking noise output from a loudspeaker prior to the predicted future time responsive to the predicted future noise parameter.
