Abstract

Outdoor soundscape measurements are being done for many types of noise sources and locations, and the monitor equipment must be both durable and secure from both the elements and physical disturbance. Indoor measurements require a somewhat more sophisticated setup since the measurement space is often an occupied space, and in the case of hospital corridors these will likely be very active spaces 24/7. A creative yet simple approach to setting up monitor stations in hospital hallways, nurses stations, and patient rooms was developed and is being used in a number of research programs. It is imperative that valid noise measurements be made in the designated spaces without arousing undue concern or interests on the part of the occupants (both medical professionals and patients/families), and that the equipment be unobtrusive and thus secure. Monitor system mounting technique and measurement performance will be illustrated and discussed.
