声音通常被认为是环境的一个负面因素，需要减轻，特别是在医院。然而，值得考虑的是如何使对医院声音的主观反应更加积极。作者确定自然声音、稳态声音和书面声源信息具有这样做的潜力。24名参与者进行了听力评估，他们对这三种干预措施中的各种医院病房音景片段进行了情绪（放松）和认知（兴趣和理解）反应。重复测量方差分析显示，“放松”反应受到自然声音干预的显著影响（n2= 0.05，p = 0.001），产生10.1%的积极反应。最有趣的是，书面声源信息产生了4.7%的积极变化的反应。作者得出结论，探索不同的方法来改善医院的声音提供了超越声级降低的主观好处。这是未来工作的重点，以实现更积极的体验医院音景和环境。
Sound is often considered as a negative aspect of an environment that needs mitigating, particularly in hospitals. It is worthwhile however, to consider how subjective responses to hospital sounds can be made more positive. The authors identified natural sound, steady state sound and written sound source information as having the potential to do this. Listening evaluations were conducted with 24 participants who rated their emotional (Relaxation) and cognitive (Interest and Understanding) response to a variety of hospital ward soundscape clips across these three interventions. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed that the ‘Relaxation’ response was significantly affected (n2= 0.05,p= 0.001) by the interventions with natural sound producing a 10.1% more positive response. Most interestingly, written sound source information produced a 4.7% positive change in response. The authors conclude that exploring different ways to improve the sounds of a hospital offers subjective benefits that move beyond sound level reduction. This is an area for future work to focus upon in an effort to achieve more positively experienced hospital soundscapes and environments.
