● Despite many efforts and interventions conducted, the noise level in NICUs is still above the standard level.
● The most effective way to reduce noise is to provide continuous training to the personnel.
● To achieve sustainable results, changing culture is necessary. 
Plain Language Summary 
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of noise reduction methods in neonatal intensive care units. To achieve the goal, 26 interventional articles in English/Persian language were examined in a 10-year period. The results showed that the noise level in these units is higher than the standard. Most studies have focused on staff training. Studies have yielded conflicting results and in some cases, staff training was not enough to reduce noise. Therefore, there is a need to continue education for personnel and all clients in these units. The change in the physical structure and culture of the department staff helps to sustain the results of noise reduction measures. Future studies are needed to discover new solutions to this old problem.
