PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) — A survey of patients at a Port Angeles hospital last year found one of their biggest complaints was noise.

Patients said they couldn’t get a good night’s sleep at Olympic Medical Center.

The Peninsula Daily News reports the hospital is taking the noise complaints seriously.

To remind people to pipe down, the hospital created orange and yellow quiet zone cones.

If an employee or patient is being too loud, they get the cone.
