Impact of noise in education - A research summary

Based on an extensive literature review by Professor Bridget Shield, we’ve created a short summary highlighting a broad selection of the studies she has researched.

It’s known that noise levels in schools can be loud enough to negatively impact students and teachers. But by how much and to what extent?

Discover the answer and more:

		Recommended healthy noise levels and how they compare with today’s average school environment levels
		What it takes to ensure good sound levels in schools
		How noise impacts teachers and the health risks involved, physically and mentally
		How noise effects students in their learning capacity and behaviour
		The extent that good acoustics improve productivity, both in test scores and engagement
		How perceived noise affects concentration and annoyance levels in teachers and students
		How to optimise acoustics for inclusive learning
