The SoundSign in Hospitals and Healthcare

A simple way to help control sound level in quiet areas

Noise is often the primary cause of sleep deprivation and distrubance amongst patients and so keeping an eye on noise levels can help in the recovery process as well as help to create a calm and peaceful working environment.

Visitors and staff can be informed when the noise levels are getting above an acceptable level using the SoundSign. The SoundSign Version 4 shows an effective and clear message which can be displayed in public areas.

Remote SoundSign units can be added to extend the coverage to entrance halls, cafeterias and any other locations where people gather and where raised voices or mobile telephones may cause a problem.

An optional CR:203 Data Logger could also be used to make records of noise levels and to ensure that staff are aware of what levels are likely to occur at different times of the day. Where the SoundSign is located in recovery areas, the brightness of the unit can be reduced to minimise the risk of the SoundSign disturbing patients.
