The need for a good room acoustic environment within mental health environments is generally well recognised, with the UK Design in mental health network providing a publication on this subject. Whilst little research has taken place in mental health settings, staff and patients throughout healthcare report noise as a challenge.

Ecophon has been investigating noise levels in hospitals for many years, in particular how sound affects people. Investigating the impacts on both staff and patients by seeking to better understand the sounds people find annoying and exploring how better acoustics could ease stress, improve focus, and create a calmer atmosphere.
