Objetivo: Identificar e mensurar as principais fontes de ruído, dimensionar os níveis de ruído no ambiente e conhecer a percepção dos funcionários acerca dos ruídos em uma Unidade Neonatal. Material e método: Estudo quantitativo, desenvolvido na Unidade Neonatal de um Hospital Universitário no norte do Paraná, em três etapas: levantamento das principais fontes de ruído e subsequente mensuração; entrevista com a equipe multiprofissional relacionada à percepção dos mesmos acerca dos ruídos na unidade; e dimensionamento do ruído no ambiente por duas semanas não consecutivas. Resultados: As principais fontes ruidosas encontradas foram: alarmes de monitores e equipamentos, torneira (aberta), tampa da lixeira, entre outros. A média das duas semanas foi: Leq 44,4 dB, Lmax 104,5 dB, Lmin 40 dB e Lpeak de 144,8 dB. Os funcionários reconheceram que o ruído intenso acarreta prejuízo a eles e aos bebês. Conclusão: Constatou-se que o valor médio dos ruídos está dentro do preconizado, porém com níveis altíssimos de Lpeak e Lmax. ResumoObjective: To identify and measure the main sources of noise, to determine the levels of ambient noise and to know the perception of employees about noise in a Neonatal Unit. Material and method: A quantitative study developed in a Neonatal Unit School Hospital, Paraná, Brazil, conducted in three steps: identification of the main sources of noise and subsequent measure; interview with the multidisciplinary team about the perception of noise in the unit; and dimensioning noise ambient for two non-consecutive weeks. Results: The main sources of noise were: monitor and equipment alarms, open water faucets, trash can lids, among others. The mean) of the two weeks period was: Leq 44.4 dB, Lmax 104.5 dB, Lmin 40 dB and Lpeak 144.8 dB. Employees acknowledged that intense noise is prejudicial to them and to babies. Conclusion: It was found that the mean value of the noise is within the recommended, but with very high levels of Lpeak and Lmax.Palavras-chave: Ruído. Unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal.
