The noise pollution is closely related to the failure of the students, according to a study by the association CLAVE (ABC, 2013, Europa Press, 2014). Some of the major factors causing this problem are the various external noise sources, such as traffic or works near educational establishments, since the noise causes the message not to be well appreciated and for this the teacher tends to raise the voice, this being another one of the problems and that is added to the bad acoustic conditioning inside the classrooms and to the excessive reverberation, which, among other things, makes the intelligibility of the word difficult for both teachers and students. Some of the measures proposed by the association CLAVE, are to implement electroacoustic systems with microphones and speakers for teachers, use silent light sources and the use of absorbent material within classrooms, among other things, also seeks to promote workshops on the noise awareness, since in the end this affects the cognitive development of students at all levels.
