Objective: Systematize the available evidence on the effect of noise intensity on newborns hospitalized in the neonatal ICU. Material and methods: Systematic observational and retrospective review, quantitative, the 10 articles found on the effect of noise intensity in the newborn hospitalized in the neonatal ICU, were found in the databases PubMed, Sciencedirect, Scielo, Wiley Online Library, Elsevier, Epistemonikos. Results: Of the total articles found, 60% were systematic reviews, 10% quasi-experimental, 20% descriptive and 10% experimental and all referred to the effect of noise intensity on newborns hospitalized in the neonatal ICU. 20% corresponds to Colombia and 10% to France, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Brazil and Iran with 10% respectively. Of the total evidence, 80% were of high quality and 20% of low quality. The intensity of noise in neonatal intensive care units affects the development of the hospitalized newborn. The evidence also mentions that noise affects the newborn, both physically and neurologically, leaving them hospitalized for several days. Studies indicate that not only the newborn is affected, but also the health personnel since they are the ones who spend most of the day in these units. Conclusion: The 10 articles show that the intensity of noise in the neonatal intensive care unit affects the development of the newborn physically and neurologically, leaving them hospitalized for several days.
