The volume of voices is usually very high in an infant classroom, which makes communication difficult. This research aims to find out the ideas of 5-year-old students about noise, as a preliminary stage to designing a proposal to raise awareness about it. Most participants say that noisy spaces cause discomfort and damage to the ears. Some do not identify noisy leisure places as annoying because they have fun there. The infant stage is an ideal time to develop healthy habits, so it is necessary to design and implement proposals that raise awareness about the effects of noise. In this sense, two simulations are described to raise awareness among students about noise and its effects.
