Hospitals are not "peaceful relaxing environments". They are large scale industrial operations designed to process as many people as possible. There simply aren't enough resources to afford every single person a "relaxing environment". You do the best you can for as many as you can. All this "relaxation" stuff will quickly be converted into spare capacity the second large numbers of severely wounded people start showing up at the emergency room.

If you're a multibillionaire then obviously you can just hire and equip your own private medical team that will focus 100% of their attention and care exclusively on you and your needs. The vast majority of the humans will never have that luxury. Normal people enter the system and are processed like everyone else.

I suspect the patients would fare better if active noise cancelling headphones were issued to every patient.

I've yet to see a study that shows noise cancelling headphones reduce patient mortality in any way whatsoever. Until there is such a study, money is better spent on things that are actually known to reduce mortality. Such as drugs.
