The main aim of this review is to compare whether natural sounds or a quiet environment is more beneficial for alleviating stress. The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference between exposure to natural sounds and a quiet environment in terms of their effect on heart rate (p = 0.006), blood pressure (p = 0.001), and respiratory rate (p = 0.032). However, no significant difference was found between exposure to natural sounds and a quiet environment in terms of their effect on MAP (p = 0.407), perceived stress, and SPO2 (p = 0.251). Although the evidence was slightly inconsistent, overall, natural sounds were found more beneficial for stress reduction than quiet environments.
本次综述的主要目的是比较自然声音与安静环境对缓解压力哪个更有益。结果表明，在心率（p = 0.006）、血压（p = 0.001）和呼吸频率（p = 0.032）方面，自然声音的暴露与安静环境的暴露存在统计学显著差异。然而，在平均动脉压（p = 0.407）、感知压力和 SpO2 方面，自然声音的暴露与安静环境的暴露无显著差异（p = 0.251）。尽管证据略有不一致，但总体而言，自然声音被发现比安静环境更有利于减轻压力。
