Abstract
To identify the most annoying noises in the hospital environment. One hundred and ninety-three patients took part in
the study. A questionnaire collected the perceptions of patients from four hospitals in Spain, with three distinct units.
The most annoying noises were the repetitive ones and the most unbearable source was the people who talk loudly. The
daily hours were the noisiest and the most annoying, especially when patients wanted to rest and indicated that noise
was annoying for them to get to sleep. Our results demonstrate how sensitive patients are toward noise in Spain. We also
suggest some strategies to reduce the noise and the harmful physiological effects of increased sound levels in order to
improve the quality of life in a healthcare environment.
