Thread-topic: Hospital noise characterization

There have been quite a few studies on these important issues in the US. Here is one accessible article from way back in 2008:

Dear Frederico,

I hear you. We are also working on a very similar topic. We developed a sensor system suitable for hospital use (ICU and OR) to capture sound data and immediately categorise it. We will be installing the system soon at a medical centre in Rotterdam. Let’s have a meeting.

Best wishes,

Elif

Dear all,

We are a team conducting research related to auditory alarms in healthcare facilities.

For the purpose of our study we intend to characterize environmental noise in recovery rooms and in operating rooms during surgery, while discriminating between the different surgeries specialties. We have begun collecting environmental noise data in hospitals by getting a calibrated sound level meter with noise logger function (1/3^rd octave band SPL) in place. Unfortunately, due to restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this procedure is no longer permitted, bringing our data collection to a halt.

I´d like to ask if anyone here has carried out similar work and are able to share their data with us, or if are any of you aware of a database with this sort of data available for us to use?

Thanks in advance.
