Siemens Healthineers - Magnetic Stories (case study)

Imagine the daunting roar of an MRI machine, reaching decibel levels louder than a military jet. Now, consider the impact on a child undergoing cancer treatment. Siemens Healthineers introduces "Magnetic Stories", an innovative technology transforming terrifying MRI sounds into enchanting children's audio books.
This pioneering campaign seeks to replace anxiety with awe and fear with fascination, ensuring young patients experience a journey of magic and wonder during medical procedures. By harnessing the power of storytelling, Siemens Healthineers aims to redefine healthcare experiences, making them not just tolerable, but inspiring for every child in need.

But still, you get the noise at 130 Decibels. That is much more than the tolerable very loud sound (beyond the threshold of pain). Isn't putting more sound on top of it counterproductive?
