Describe the role of noise in creating a healing environment
Noise can negatively affect human health and well-being. Although people experience noise differently, it is important to remember that regular exposure to sound louder than 85 decibels can damage hearing. Because stress hormone levels increase as sound increases, it is important to create healing environments with quiet and soothing sounds.
