Noise in the environment is increasing over the years. Disturbances produced by noise are varied, some lead to serious health consequences. Noise level was registered in a teaching hospital. Levels in the wards were between 50 and 59 dB. In the Intensive Care Unit, main hallways and outpatients department levels were higher than 59 dB. Isolated peaks up to 90.0 dB (Pediatrics) were detected. The noise level recommended for a hospital is under 50.0 dB. We found that the principal source of noise came from the medical and nursing staff.
多年来，环境中的噪音在不断增加。噪音产生的干扰多种多样，有些会导致严重的健康后果。一家教学医院记录了噪音水平。病房中的噪音水平在50至59分贝之间。在重症监护室、主走廊和门诊部，噪音水平高于59分贝。检测到高达90.0分贝的孤立峰值（儿科）。医院建议的噪音水平应低于50.0分贝。我们发现，噪音的主要来源是医护人员。
