Noise annoys people and causes tension among people. However, the types and levels are difficult to determine. Sometimes the noise of a different sound resonates at a frequency that masks other sounds. The noise level should be checked at all places before operations begin.

Ventilation noise and the annoyance effects which may result have been a recurring question in recent years for researchers, occupational health services, and various aurhorities. In spite of this, there are still major shortcomings in our knowledge about the links between human effects and exposure to ventilation noise. Current regulations and recommendations are thus based on uncertain principles in certain respects.

Noise An unwanted sound that causes annoyance or distraction. 

Another potential problem, particularly if geothermal water is not returned to its source, is land subsidence. For example, there has been significant subsidence at the Wanaker field in New Zealand. Finally, an annoying difficulty with geothermal heat has been the noise produced by escaping steam and water. The shriek of the high-pressure fluids is intolerable, and is usually dissipated in towers in which the fluids are... 

Belt noise can take the form of squeals and squeaks or chirps, both of which are generally more annoying than... 

Work around large equipment often creates excessive noise. The effects of noise can include (a) workers being startled, annoyed, or distracted, (b) physical damage to the ear, pain, and temporary and/or permanent hearing loss, and (c) communication interference that may increase potential hazards due to the inabdity to warn of danger and the proper safety precautions to be taken. 

Noise and distraction will interfere with the trip. When on Salvia, watching TV is nothing but annoying sitting around a campfire in the woods at night, is wonderful. 

But the hellish interpretation is also possible. As the learned structure of sound collapses, the direct impact of waves can be sensed as noise. For one who is compelled to institute order, his order, on the world around him, it is at least annoying and often disturbing to have the raw tattoo of sound resonating in consciousness. 

Personnel protection devices must be used to protect the ear in an industrial plant. These are earplugs made of rubber or plastic that fit snugly in the ear canal without discomfort and effectively protect the ear. They are also available as a foam cylinder that can be compressed and twisted to be inserted into the ear canal. There are helmets available that have noise attenuating electronic components and communication features. In selecting these helmets, safety engineers must exercise caution and must take steps to ensure that the devices are properly selected and used by the workers without distraction and annoyance. 

Noise— Any unwanted, annoying, or disturbing sound especially sound that can cause physical or psychological damage. 

An estimated 20 million Americans are exposed to noise that poses a threat to their hearing. Everyone at some time or another has experienced the effects of noise pollution. Many people are unaware that the sounds that cause them so much annoyance may also be affecting their hearing. Hearing loss is one of the most serious health threats as a result of noise pollution. 

Speakers often say um before they lannch into their subject, and these prefatory urn s are not too distracting. Pause-filling noises can be very annoying, though, and shonld be avoided.
