Interview: Sandy Roob, Sound Medicine field reporter



You might think that hospital food is the biggest complaint for hospital patients.

But in fact, hospital noise gets more criticism.

Sound Medicine reporter Sandy Roob visited Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis to take a look at -- or should we say take a listen to -- the problem of noisy hospitals.

Roob meets with facility administrators and industrial researchers experimenting with ways to reduce hospital noise.
