“…Additionally, the studies on children with ADHD using white noise did not include a quiet condition with the classroom noise and white noise conditions, so the effect of classroom noise compared to quiet could not be assessed. This was also the case for Akhtar et al, 22 Eysel-Gosepath et al 25 and Todorov et al 41 who evaluated the effect of noise in noise exposed schools without a direct comparison with quieter conditions. This heterogeneity of the papers and the limitations raised provides an opportunity for future research to fill in current gaps in knowledge.…”

“…The most common type of acoustic exposure explored in the reviewed papers was classroom noise, examined in seven studies. 25,29,30,33,35,40,41 One study examined the effect of corridor noise from other children. 34 Three studies examined the effect of external noise, two of which investigated traffic noise 22,26 and one investigated aircraft.…”

“…A range of different behaviours were investigated across the 14 papers. These included learning behaviours (achievement motivation, 31 engagement, 35,40,41 production, 33 accuracy, 23 concentration, 25,34,22 inattention, 26 off-task behaviour, 23,39 ), externalising behaviours (disruptive behaviour, 35 aggression, 29,33 social interaction 22,31 ) and internalising behaviours (repetitive behaviours, 29 fidgeting, 24 agitation, 33 covering ears, 29,30 physical tension 33 and vocalisations 29 ).…”

The aim of this scoping review was to determine what is known from the literature about the effect of different classroom acoustic conditions on different primary school children’s behaviour. A scoping review using the PRISMA-ScR protocol was conducted in March 2022. ERIC, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched using the search term classroom AND (acoustic* OR noise OR reverb*) AND (behav* OR motivat* OR attitude OR persist* OR flexib* OR engage* OR interpersonal). In all, 14 articles were relevant. The populations studied included children who were typically developing, had autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or were deaf or hard of hearing. Several behaviours including learning, externalising and internalising behaviours were investigated. The results suggested that poor classroom acoustic conditions can negatively impact children’s behaviour. However, due to heterogeneity of the methodologies used in this small number of studies, future research is proposed to better understand the relationship.

University is an important stage of learning for students, so it is vital that higher education spaces are acoustically accessible to all and are places that promote equity and inclusion. The aim of this study was to measure the unoccupied noise levels and reverberation times of all of the classrooms in a typical Australian university to assess acoustic accessibility with a view to planning for a more accessible campus. A total of 166 classrooms were measured and categorised into good, ok, and poor classrooms according to the Macquarie University (MQU) Design Guidelines Review Performance Standards. Regarding unoccupied noise levels, 52% of classrooms were within the recommended < 35 dBA limit. Regarding reverberation times, 65% of classrooms were within the recommended 0.4–0.6 s limit. Finally, 40% of classrooms met both the noise level and reverberation time limit. The plans at the university to incorporate these findings to make the campus more acoustically accessible are discussed, as well as future research avenues so that all students and teachers can flourish.
