Evaluación de los niveles de presión sonora en una institución educativa de la ciudad de Guayaquil para mejorar el entorno acústico

Abstract

This analysis highlights the relevance of considering how noise affects both academic performance and the hearing health of educational staff. Finally, several soundabsorbing materials were evaluated, of which one of the best was chosen, which was implemented acoustic foam material (melanine), in order to effectively reduce the noise pressure at the school of Guayaquil, which improved the acoustical environment. These actions aim to create a harmonious and healthy environment that facilitates both educational activities and the well-being of students and teaching staff. By implementing measures such as the use of acoustic foam materials (melanine), the level of sound pressure caused by external sound sources in the classroom is effectively reduced. This intervention not only improved the acoustic environment, but also produced tangible benefits in terms of greater concentration and academic performance of students and staff. The results show that simple actions, such as the use of sound-absorbing materials, can have a significant impact on creating a more harmonious educational environment that promotes learning.
