“…These values are more inclusive than those recommended by Konkani and Oakley 11 , who maintain that levels less than 40 dB(A) are required for the activities that require concentration, affirming that the greater values can cause interruptions. In the case of the care staff, it is a key limiting factor, given that the nurses must be capable of concentrating on caring for patients in order to avoid causing potential harm due to error 3 , 11 .…”

“…These stimuli caused by noise produce four types of adverse effects on newborns, especially among premature newborns, such as somatic effects, sleep disturbances, auditory damage and problems in their emotional development 1 , 2 , as well as the possible repercussions among the care staff 3 . Brown stated that excessive auditory stimulation creates negative physiological responses, such as sleep apnea and fluctuations in cardiac frequency, blood pressure and oxygen intake 4 .…”

Introduction: The environment of neonatal intensive care units is influenced by numerous sources of noise emission, which contribute to raise the noise levels, and may cause hearing impairment and other physiological and psychological changes on the newborn, as well as problems with care staff. Objective: To evaluate the level and sources of noise in the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: Sampled for 20 consecutive days every 60 seconds in A-weighting curves and fast mode with a Type I sound level meter. Recorded the average, maximum and minimum, and the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles. The values are integrated into hours and work shift, and studied by analysis of variance. The sources were characterized in thirds of octaves. Results: The average level was 64.00 ±3.62 dB(A), with maximum of 76.04 ±5.73 dB(A), minimum of 54.84 ±2.61dB(A), and background noise of 57.95 ±2.83 dB(A). We found four sources with levels between 16.8-63.3 dB(A). Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the hours and work shift, with higher values in the early hours of the day. Conclusion: The values presented exceed the standards suggested by several organizations. The sources identified and measured recorded high values in low frequencies.

“…Despite all the aforementioned recommendations, numerous studies report noise levels in Neonatal Intensive Care Units that exceed these limits by up to 70% of the newborn’s exposure time, with averages ranging between 55 and 89 dB (A) ( 3 , 10 – 14 ). The problem is aggravated, even more when maximum values of the sound pressure level appear, mainly due to the alarms of any of the equipment that surrounds the neonates to the sound of the telephone, etc, in which the sound pressure level is Instantaneous (Lpeak) reaches levels that can exceed 144.8 dB ( 14 ) a value well above the pain threshold, located at 120 dB.…”

The objective of this work focuses on the study of the main sources of noise associated with incubators and the acoustic effects that derive from them. The method that has been established is based on tests carried out under different operating conditions of the incubators. Noise levels are analyzed under different boundary conditions (Neonatal ICU and “Controlled environment rooms”). Under normal operating conditions, the levels inside the incubator are around 56 dB (A), values that exceed the maximum limits recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The scope of this study is to evaluate the existing noise levels in the incubator and analyze possible design improvements. The study was carried out in the hospitals of Cádiz, Huelva, and Malaga.
