While the effects of an acoustic environment have previously been explored through subjective responses within ICUs, this study was the first to apply the soundscape approach. This approach aims to characterize the acoustic environment as it is perceived and understood, while understanding that the context, or the interrelationships between person, place, and activity, can influence perceptions.
