| Description: | VIBRATION, NOISE AND ULTRASONIC NOISE IN THE ANIMAL FACILITY: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Speaker: Jeremy Turner, CEO – Turner Scientific This course will highlight some of the sources of vibration, noise, and ultrasonic noise in the animal facility (e.g., fluorescent lighting, computers, ventilated caging systems, bedding change stations), their impact on research animals, and how to measure and manage them. Noise and vibration serve as stressors for research animals, thereby serving as confounding variables for virtually every area of biomedical and behavioral research. A major concern with both noise and vibration in animal facilities is that neither is well controlled, managed, or even monitored. For example, much of the noise in our facilities is in the ultrasonic range, which we human observers cannot hear, and the noise meters we typically use cannot measure. This course will demonstrate how measuring and mitigating noise and vibration problems in the vivarium can refine our animal models and reduce the number of animals used. |
