The SoundEar Noise Warning Sign helps to create a quiet
environment for
hospital patients. It is a great reminder to
staff, visitors and patients to keep the noise levels down.
Very attractive design
Adjustable warning level from 40 to 115 dB(A)
in 5dB steps
Yellow warning lights come on 5 dB before the limit is
reached
Red light flashes when the limit
is exceeded
Wall mounted in corridors, rooms and by nurses' stations
For use in hospitals and medical centers, the SoundEar presents
a clear and unmistakable warning as soon as the noise exceeds the
user selected limit. The sign mounts
on the wall and takes its power from the adapter that is included.
Adjustable Trigger Level
The Noise Limit
The noise limit is selectable to suit the function of
the room. It can be set in 5 dB steps to a level between
40 and 115 dB(A) using the control on the back.
The yellow lights come on just before the limit is reached.
As soon as the limit is exceeded the red center lights up
and flashes.
For most hospital and medical center applications, the
level will be set to between 50 and 65 dB, depending on
the type of room being monitored.
Where SoundEar Helps
The SoundEar Noise Warning Sign can help where people need to be reminded to keep their noise levels down. For example, in hospitals the noise comes from patients, staff and of course from visitors. The presence of the sign is usually enough to remind people that noise is an issue. The yellow and red lights are for those who forget or who are unable to judge what "too loud" is.
The types of noise that will usually trigger the SoundEar are:
Loud voices, shouting, whistling
Hospital equipment carts, especially if badly maintained
Banging doors
Loud music or televisions
Usually the biggest problem is loud voices. A reminder from a sign is better than from another person as it takes away the human perception of noise (maybe the complainer is being a little over sensitive) and also removes the embarrassment from the complainer and from the noisy person.
