Industrialization harms as it results in the emission of noise into the surroundings and employees. Especially noise is one of the most common causes of hearing disorders and one of the most common occupational diseases in the industry. Reducing the main noise sources has become increasingly urgent since the effect on employee health was negative. Although noise reduction is an important issue in the industry, previous research has not addressed it adequately, particularly in the automotive industry. This paper presented a detailed case study on the reduction of noise in a pilot area of an automotive assembly line. The paper aimed to improve the quality of the working environment by reducing the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and noise reduction. For this purpose, noise measure tools were used: a Svantec-type noise dosimeter and a sound level meter. In the course of studies, it was creating noise maps (before/after), in order to verify whether the proposed measures will be sufficient. Once the proposed measures have been implemented, a 14.2% reduction in noise levels helped ensure employees’ safety by reducing the need for mandatory PPE. Meanwhile, the noise reduction percentage for AGV is the highest among the five noise sources, at 20.9%. Results showed that the sound pressure levels dropped from 110 dBA to 87 dBA and reduced on average for AGV. Reducing reliance on PPE and implementing noise reduction measures enhances pilot area safety and contributes to a more ergonomic and sustainable work environment. The implementation of this case, the application of the suggested measures, and the subsequent verification approved a considerable reduction in the noise levels in the influenced pilot area, and the measures applied were assessed as highly effective with result rates.

“…It is very important to emphasize that the usage condition of industrial units has a major and significant effect on the noise emissions [6]. Nowadays, a widely used concept for improving the life standard is to reduce the industrial noise, above all in industrial and residential mixed areas [7]. Industrial development, different, and also, in some cases, chaotic locations of manufacturing facilities which are near residential areas demands to realize noise level monitoring [7].…”

Proposed Options for Noise Reduction from a Wastewater Treatment Plant: Case Study

Industry and industrial complexes are often located in the proximity of people’s homes. One of the negative effects of industry is noise emissions into the surrounding environment. With the increasing concentration of the human population and the increase in industrial production, more and more people are exposed to the negative effects of noise. This article discusses a comprehensive approach to reducing noise emissions from industrial operations, and the subsequent impacts on surrounding villages and human health. The first step of the whole process is to understand the current state of the acoustic situation in industrial operation and in the nearby villages, an important part of which is the identification and localization of dominant noise sources. For this purpose, a unique noise visualization tool was used, namely, an acoustic camera. The next important step is to propose a technical solution and measures to reduce the noise of the individual source. Consequently, it is necessary to create a mathematical model, i.e., noise maps, in order to verify whether the proposed measures will be sufficient. Once the proposed measures have been implemented, verification of the effectiveness of these measures needs to be carried out through repeated noise measurements in nearby villages and also on the site of the industrial installation. The above procedure was applied to the operation of a wastewater treatment plant that was causing noise exceeding the permissible levels in the surrounding villages. The application of this approach, the implementation of the proposed measures, and the subsequent verification confirmed a significant reduction in the noise levels in the affected villages, and the measures implemented were assessed as highly effective.
