A proposal for a solution to reduce stress and anxiety in the hospital setting by combining the problems of excess noise in a hospital setting with the efficacy of music therapy is supported through an analysis of research in the field of noise, hospital noise pollution, and music medicine. Included in this overview are articles describing the effects of noise on health, the problems of noise pollution in the health care setting, and the benefits of replacing noise with music to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, emotional anxiety, and pain. By combining these areas of research, the authors propose the establishment of a department assigned to (1) control the amount of noise in a hospital and (2) provide a center of music therapy for all individuals in the hospital setting, including in-patients, out-patients, doctors, and staff. Due to the large specificity of these areas, this unifying source, or "Department of Sound," is suggested to aid in thoroughly addressing and combining these two concepts most effectively.
通过对噪声、医院噪声污染和音乐医学领域的研究分析，支持了一项关于通过将医院环境中过度噪声问题与音乐疗法的功效相结合来减轻医院环境中压力和焦虑的解决方案的提议。本综述包括描述噪声对健康影响的文章、医疗环境中噪声污染问题，以及用音乐取代噪声以降低心率、血压、呼吸频率、情绪焦虑和疼痛的益处。通过结合这些研究领域，作者提议设立一个部门，负责（1）控制医院内的噪声量，（2）为医院环境中的所有人员，包括住院患者、门诊患者、医生和工作人员，提供音乐治疗中心。由于这些领域的特殊性，建议设立这个统一的机构，即“声音部”，以最有效地全面解决和结合这两个概念。
