Lullabies and white noise calm newborns in intensive care

NCT ID NCT07590479

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether playing white noise or a lullaby can help calm full-term babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). 70 newborns listened to either white noise or a traditional Turkish lullaby for 20 minutes, three times a day, for four days. Both sounds safely lowered the babies' heart rates without affecting their breathing or oxygen levels, suggesting these simple, drug-free methods can help NICU babies feel more comfortable.
