Music is widely used in leisure activities, but environments with high sound intensity such as nightclubs may expose workers to the unhealthy level of sound pressure. Excessive noise has been associated with hearing impairment, difficulty in verbal communication, increased psychological tension and lower level of attention of workers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sound pressure level of electronically amplified music through 25 measurements in triplicate in the different nightclub environments installed in the city of Cascavel (Brazil) during the presentation of disk jockey and with live sound. By anamnesis, he verified the perception of the employees in the exposure unhealthy.
