The noise found in modern hospitals is caused by a variety of sources including patients, staff, medical alerts and other lifesaving technology, making hospitals unable to meet the desired acoustic levels recommended by the WHO.
However, using the correct materials can provide patients with great indoor acoustics and privacy, supporting them in their recovery.
“In hospital environments, noise control is very important to the recovery of patients as ‘unwanted sound’ can increase heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate.”
