Impact of Noise on Student Concentration

Medium Research Summaries Interpreting Results

Researchers conducted an experiment to evaluate the effect of varying noise levels on the concentration levels of students during a math test. They set up three different test environments: a silent room, a room with moderate background noise (music playing softly), and a room with loud noise (construction sounds). After the test, they recorded the scores of the students in each environment. The results showed the following average scores:

Silent room: 85
Moderate noise: 75
Loud noise: 60

Based on these results, what can be inferred about the impact of noise on student concentration?

Noise levels have no significant effect on student concentration.

Students perform best in silent environments.

Moderate noise improves student performance over silence.

All students are equally affected by noise levels.
