Reduce Noise for a Better Patient Experience
Some Opinions
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.Florence Nightingale, 1859.
The maximum sound level recommended for hospitals is 45 dB during the day and 35 dB at night

We love it. It’s a great reminder for staff when it’s getting too noisy.

Noise in Hospitals and Medical Centers
Too much noise in a hospital or medical center causes patient discomfort and can result in longer recovery times. The noise usually comes from visitors, staff, patients and from the movement of equipment.
The Noise Warning Signs take the strain out of reminding people to keep the noise levels down. The green lights are on all the time, just as a reminder.
The hand held Noise Meter can be used to assess the noise levels within the hospital or medical center, and can also be useful when setting up the Noise Signs.
