Objectives: The acoustic frequencies present in an incubator are within the hearing range of a newborn; this requires adapting the environment so that the noise inside the incubator is more compatible with that range and facilitates proper hearing development. The objective of this study is to make a comparison, in thirds of an octave (frequency an...

The objective of this work focuses on the study of the main sources of noise associated with incubators and the acoustic effects that derive from them. The method that has been established is based on tests carried out under different operating conditions of the incubators. Noise levels are analyzed under different boundary conditions (Neonatal ICU...

In this work, noise sources were studied in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) by evaluating the noise from various sources, including the influence of the work of the NICU staff. The objective was to evaluate the acoustic quality in the usual conditions in NICU rooms and inside incubators by monitoring the noise in both environments, and then d...
