Abstract

Noise pollution is present all places and affects health negatively. It feels more like that to the patients. When the patient in severe condition is being taken to the emergency room, we have to overcome the siren noise of ambulance. Patients are also more terrified by the sound of sirens. Instead of siren noise, why not use the sound of Buk (Korean drum) for patient, citizens, and social elements including animals and plants?
