Description
In recent years, various studies have been conducted to measure noise levels in hospital settings; in most of these studies, noise levels were found to exceed the limits recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The aim of this work was to determine, through a systematic review of scientific articles, typical noise levels in different types of hospital environments and to identify the noisiest wards. This work is part of the research activities of the INAIL BRIC Project 2024 (ID07), which aims to investigate the possible extrasensory effects of noise on healthcare staff.
