Najčešće je riječ o manjku osoblja, vozila transport,...
Unatoč preporukama Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije o ograničavanju buke u bolnicama na prosječnu razinu zvuka koja ne bi trebala prelaziti 35 dB (a najviše 40 tijekom noći), mjerenja intenziteta jedinicama intenzivnog liječenja dosežu nerijetko i dvostruko više vrijednosti. Američka agencija za zaštitu okoliša preporučuje dnevnu noćnu do 45 dB. Zvukove koji stvaraju buku čine medicinsko nemedicinsko osoblje: hodanjem, razgovorima, promjenama položaja predmeta, svakodnevnim medicinskim...
