Abstract:

Noise is recognized as an important stress factor in numerous workplaces. Despite legal regulations and recommendations for the highest allowed noise levels, there are still many problems in practice resulting from noise exposure such as hearing loss, stress and significant discomfort. We studied the influence of noise on workers in two different environments: a technical high school and a manufacturing company. In both cases measurements of noise levels and corresponding frequency noise analyses were performed. In order to study personal noise perceptions, the workers also completed an extended research survey. A comparison between the survey’s results and experimentally determined noise levels gives new insights into the health risks of noise exposure in two very different working environments.
