Vibroacoustic Pollution in the Neonatal Ward

Excessive noise pollution is often a problem for neonatal nurseries. Noise involves not only but also vibrations. The main difference between them that can be heard, and vibrations are felt. human ear cannot detect waves outside the range of 20 Hz–20 KHz. Waves from 0 Hz to 80–100 should considered Both transmitted neonate through incubator’s operational mechanisms other sources. Neonatal units’ well studied very little known about vibration.
