Description
Tran Thi Hong Nhung Nguyen and co-authors measure noise at a hospital in a 2026 study from Vietnam. The hospital sits near a major airport, so planes and road traffic fill the air with sound day and night. Such noise can break sleep and strain the body, a special worry for patients who need rest to heal.
From 2022 to 2024, sound was tracked inside patient and staff rooms and outside on balconies and the roof. Measures covered day, evening, and night levels plus peak blasts. Sleep quality and health outcomes were assessed in parallel. The linked data show which spots and hours carry the worst load.
