Australian research examining exposure to classroom noise of 25 full-time teaching staff in 14 pre-school settings. One teacher exceeded the maximum permissible level of daily noise exposure for employees under health and safety legislation. 92 per cent of teachers were subjected to daily noise exposure considered potentially harmful. High levels of noise occurred when large numbers of children were in confined areas, or involved in rough play or distressed. Grebennikov, L.
