Loud noise can damage a person’s physiological health
TURBAT: Noise pollution is becoming an utter nuisance not just for humans but animals too. While it is difficult to stop noise pollution completely, it is advisable to stop it from occurring near hospitals. Considering that different types of patients come to a hospital, any kind of loud noise may disturb some and negatively affect the treatment they are being provided.
And it is said that loud noise can damage a person’s physiological health. As a result, a hospital management should ensure that the vicinity of their hospital isn’t a heavily commercial one and residents who happen to live near a hospital shouldn’t create much noise, such as playing loud music. In fact, commuters passing a hospital should avoid honking or creating much noise.
