Report: Hospital Rooms Almost As Noisy As Chainsaw
Reuters reports on a University of Chicago study whose results show that noise levels spike as high as 80 decibels, which is nearly as high a level as a chainsaw.
Average sound levels were measured to be around 30 to 40 decibels, higher than World Health Organization guidelines for recommended sound levels in hospitals.
