Analysis of Noise Levels at Kramat Jati Police Hospital and Budhi Asih Hospital

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the noise level in two hospitals in East Jakarta, namely the Kramat Jati Police Hospital and the Budhi Asih Hospital. Measurements are carried out in the administration area using the Sound Level Meter as well as other sound measurement applications. The results showed that there was a significant difference in noise levels between the two hospitals. The average noise level was recorded at 82.26 dB, while at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital the average reached 65.59 dB. These two values turned out to exceed the WHO standard which sets the maximum noise limit in the hospital area at 55 so that it can be concluded that the noise conditions in the two hospitals have the potential to interfere with comfort and health.
