The data processing department of Flower Hospital-Crestview Center in Ohio has a Burroughs DC 140 processor, a Four Phase system with printer, two VDTs, a Uarco burster and a seven-ton air conditioner. Tests showed a considerable noise level. After installing Tibbet workstations and panels containing Owens-Corning Fiberglas, noise levels dropped to fifty-nine decibels at 1000 Hertz (speech frequency) and fifty decibels at 4000 Hertz. Normal voice is measured at 65 decibels.
