The invention relates to a medical monitoring system ( 100 ) based on sound analysis in a medical environment. A sound level analyzer (SLA, 10 ) is capable of providing an indicator for perceived levels of sound from a number of sound events, and a data storage modality (DSM, 20 ) is receiving and storing said indicator for perceived levels of sound and also corresponding information from an associated patient monitoring system (PMS, 60 ) handling information indicative of a physical and/or mental condition of a patient under influence by sound. A sound event analyzer (SEA, 30 ) is further being arranged for performing, within a defined time window, an overall sound analysis (ANA, 50 ) related to physical and/or mental condition of the patient that may be influenced by sound in order to assist or supervise medical personal with respect to the acoustic environment. |
