Subject: [AUDITORY] Hospital noise characterization From: Frederico Pereira <pereira.frederico@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 May 2020 16:52:14 +0100--00000000000009280705a68f15f0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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 (1/3rd 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=C2=B4d like to ask if anyone here has carried out similar work and are ab= le 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. For questions or comments, feel free to email me at the address below.
