Evaluation of acoustic performance of a dental office

This work analyses the acoustic comfort of a dentistry clinic located João Pessoa, considering several situations of use of the space. It was developed through a physical survey of the place (dimensions and materials), identification of the performed activities, identification external and internal sources of noise and measurement of the noise levels. The noise levels measured were compared with the NBR 10.152 (ABNT, 1987) norm standards. Soon after, the isolation and the time of reverberation were calculated in order to solve the problem. The results show that the clinic is uncomfortable because it does not meet the acoustic standards of the norms.
