The survey involved monitoring of noise levels and identification of noise sources in 25 locations representing a range of typical patient accommodation, from single rooms to multi-bed bays of various sizes. The results enable those factors which affect the noise levels in hospitals to be ...
Many units exhibit little if any reduction of sound levels in the nighttime. Data gathered at various hospitals over the last 45 years indicate a trend of increasing noise levels during daytime and nighttime hours. The implications of these results are significant for patients, visitors, and ...
Noise levels in hospitals, especially in intensive care units (ICUs) are known to be high, potentially affecting not only the patients’ well-being but also their clinical outcomes. In an observational study, we made a long-term measurement of noise levels in an ICU, and investigated the inf...
Since 1960 the average noise levels in hospitals have increased an average of 0.38dB per year during daytime hours and 0.42dB during the night. This talk reviews the state of the art on interior hospital noise control and the remaining challenging issues. Equivalent sound pressure levels (Leqs)...
WHO and EPA are the pioneer institutions in creating standard values for hospital noise (Baqar et al.2017). Other studies have shown that the values recommended by the WHO are widely used as a reference for noise levels in hospitals (Wallis et al.2019), although these levels are often excee...
The article focuses on a study related to noise in hospitals which exceeds the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for community noise, and mentions ways to reduce noise level and effect on the patient especially in intensive care units (ICU). It also mentions ways to reduce noise ...

Silent zones: To ensure that noise levels stay within acceptable limits in sensitive areas such as schools, hospitals, and parks. 4.Analysis of Noise Data Once the data is collected, it must be analyzed to determine if noise levels exceed the prescribed limits set by the CPCB. The analysis ...
As discussed in Section 2.1, the A-weighting is adopted to describe the respective noise levels. 2.2.1 Weighted Equivalent Continuous Perceived Noise Level The WECPNL noise metric originates from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) [21] and has been commonly adopted in China, ...
