Industrial noise

Several books are available on the general subject of industrial noise control, Bias and Hansen (2003), and on noise control in the process industries, Cheremisnoff (1996), ASME (1993). [Pg.370]

As mentioned before, most sounds are composites of several differenf levels at different frequencies. This is especially tiue of industrial noise. A typical burner noise curve is shown in Figure 8.12. As can be seen, there are significant levels in two frequency zones, both of which... [Pg.190]

Industrial noise pollution is a major concern for society as a whole. In a recent survey, the effects of exposure to noise in refinery workers was sfudied extensively. A cross-section of workers in differenf divisions/units was chosen. If was found fhaf noise levels averaged... [Pg.193]

Regulations aimed at protecting individuals from industrial noise pollution have been enforced in almost all industrialized countries. The noise caused in industries and the work place is generally taken as a serious issue. [Pg.194]

Although noise pollution caused by industrial sectors are minor as compared to the noise caused by road and rail traffic, industrial noise receives more attention due to public representation. The ISO 1996 provides a set of international regulations for noise protection in residential neighborhoods located near industrial areas. [Pg.194]

Guidance for rating industrial noise and assessing the likelihood of complaint is given in [33.10]. Pure tones cease to be noticeable when they are 10 dB or more below the general sound level. [Pg.393]

Sometimes the loss of hearing due to industrial noise is called the silent epidemic. Because this type of hearing loss is not correctable by either surgery or the use of hearing aids, it certainly is a monumental loss to the worker. It distorts... [Pg.359]

Industrial noise can be complex and complaints difficult to resolve both legally and technically. Industrial noise assessment is aided by BS 4142 but no guidance exists for other noise nuisance. The Local Authority has a duty to take reasonable steps to investigate all complaints and to take appropriate action. [Pg.63]

Anytime industrial noise can be reduced it is a plus for the workers. Each noise source contributes to the total level of noise to which a worker may be exposed. The installation of any new roller conveyor systems should include noise control as part of the purchase. [Pg.179]
