The noise that can be heard on certain days in Männedorf ZH can pass through the bone marrow. Especially in good weather, the loud screams and moans often cannot be heard directly on the shores of Lake Zurich.
The background noise comes from the delivery room at the Männedorf Hospital. In warm temperatures, the window is often left open there. This means that the cries of pregnant women who are currently in labor or have to endure the pain of childbirth are also heard in the neighborhood.
Noise like a rock concert
A resident no longer accepts it that way. With a noise complaint, you want to restore peace and quiet to the neighborhood. This is reported by the “Zürichsee-Zeitung”.
The decibel level that can be reached at birth is really considerable. A Swedish study has shown that the short-term cutoff value of 115 decibels was exceeded a total of 50 times in 61 shifts examined in the delivery room. The room was like a rock concert.
Doctors and midwives cannot avoid the noise of labor. But Männedorf has now responded to the neighbor’s complaint.
Air conditioning has now been purchased for the delivery room, Martina Meyer from the hospital’s communications department tells the newspaper. Media: Windows can now stay closed even in high temperatures. (cat)
