Noise levels in a nonhuman primate housing facility

Environmental noise can cause stress to the animals used in research. Most studies assessing noise levels in animal facilities have been done in rodent facilities, and few studies, if any, have focused on nonhuman primates. In a new article, McLeod and colleagues characterized in detail the living environment of research nonhuman primates by recording sound levels and other variables using a monitoring device placed inside of a cage in a macaque housing room.
