Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities must maintain quiet environments to support patient recovery and clear communication among medical staff. However, medical equipment, hallway activity, and building systems often generate background sound levels between 55–65 dB(A). These sound levels can disturb patients and interfere with conversations between doctors, nurses, and patients.
Excessive sound in healthcare environments can also impact communication accuracy. Healthcare professionals must clearly exchange information regarding treatment plans, medications, and patient care instructions. When sound levels rise, conversations may need to be repeated, increasing the risk of miscommunication.
Healthcare facilities often follow strict regulatory guidelines regarding patient safety and comfort. While sound levels may not always fall directly under OSHA workplace sound exposure regulations and HIPAA compliance, maintaining controlled acoustic environments helps support safe and effective patient care.
CurtiSil® Sound Control Curtains provide an effective hospital sound barrier curtain solution that reduces sound transfer between treatment areas. These commercial soundproof curtains combine dense sound-blocking layers with sound-absorbing materials to improve acoustic privacy.
In healthcare environments where sound levels reach 60–65 dB(A), installing CurtiSil® acoustic sound curtains can reduce interior sound levels to approximately 45–50 dB(A). This quieter environment improves patient comfort, protects conversation privacy, and allows healthcare professionals to communicate more clearly.
