The invention relates to a medical monitoring system (100) based on sound analysis in a medical environment. A sound level analyzer (SLA 10) is capable of providing an indicator for perceived levels of sound from a number of sound events and a data storage modality (DSM 20) is receiving and storing said indicator for perceived levels of sound and also corresponding information from an associated patient monitoring system (PMS 60) handling information indicative of a physical and/or mental condition of a patient under influence by sound. A sound event analyzer (SEA 30) is further being arranged for performing within a defined time window an overall sound analysis (ANA 50) related to physical and/or mental condition of the patient that may be influenced by sound in order to assist or supervise medical personal with respect to theacoustic environment.
