Noise Source Monitoring in Industrial and Residential Mixed Areas

Abstract:

Today, reduction of industrial noise is a widely used concept for improving the life standard in vicinity of industrial and residential mixed areas. The human ear has a very poor auditory acuity in perceiving sounds produced by sound pressure variations in the very low frequencies or very high frequency range. Noise is, in general interpretation, disturbing sound, annoying or even dangerous, although this perception is subjective. There are at least two kinds of people, one that "adapted" psychological noise and learned to work with it and another which gradually became sensitive to noise. In the current situation of industrial development, and housing, many locations of manufacturing facilities are near residential areas, so it is very important to realize noise levels monitoring. Legislation provides for annual measurements of noise levels to limit industrial properties. This paper describes the monitoring, over a period of several years, the noise sources within a company at the limits of Timisoara.
