Sound/speech masking is incredibly effective. We had a trial system in part of our old office and in the area covered by the system, it felt natural but when you knew to listen for the reduction in perceived annoyance/disturbance, it was much lower.

It’s not white noise, though: https://cambridgesound.com/learn/sound-masking-101/

(The trial was winter of 2019, then something happened in spring 2020 to keep us from going forward…)
