This study aimed to evaluate the effect of white noise on the sleep quality of high school students at Unit B of Rajawali Girls Dormitory Makassar. This was an experimental study involving twelve subjects, ages 16–18, with a total sampling method. The JBL T5 speaker was placed in the subject's room to generate white noise for 30 days. The white noise was listened continuously from 10 pm to 5 am, and sleep quality was measured subjectively with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention. Then the data were analyzed by paired t-test. The mean of PSQI score before the intervention was 8.50 ± 2.5 and significantly decrease into 6.50 ± 3.00 after the intervention (p-value 0.019). White noise decreased the score of PSQI, which interpreted as better sleep quality. ## Keywords - Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - Sleep (system call) - Sleep quality - White noise - Noise (video) - White (mutation) - Psychology - Intervention (counseling) - Physical therapy - Medicine - Audiology - Gerontology - Mathematics - Statistics - Psychiatry - Insomnia - Computer science - Image (mathematics) - Biochemistry - Chemistry - Operating system - Artificial intelligence - Gene --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
