Noise
Noise is usually defined as undesirable sound and it can impact human health in various ways. Depending on character, it can lead to fatigue and contribute to stress, but it can also lead to more lasting damage such as reduced hearing. Common sources of noise in office settings include sounds from ventilation and computers.
If you have problems or questions regarding noise, contact the university´s occupational health specialist or the university´s occupational health service Previa.
