INTRODUCTION
• Modern life has given rise to new form of pollution called noise pollution.
• Sound is pleasant or not depends upon its loudness , duration, rhythm and the mood of person.
• They are continuously disturbing human peace and tranquility
• Noise has become an important environmental pollutant and is a serious threat to the quality of our atmosphere that befoul air, water and soil.

Noise pollution
• Noise is a unwanted, unpleasant or disagreeable sound that causes discomfort.
• Noise pollution :-
Any unwanted sound that penetrates the environment is noise
pollution. In general noise pollution refers to any noise irritating one’s ear which come from an external source.

Types of noise :-
Noise can be studied under two heading :-
(1) Environmental noise- this type of noise is introduced into communication system and mainly includes cosmic noise and atmospheric absorption noise.
(2) System internal noise :-this type of noise is produced within the system.

INTRODUCTION
Mechanized industry creates serious noise problems, subjecting a significant fraction of the working population to potentially harmful sound pressure levels of noise.
The noise is due to machinery of all kinds and often increases with the power of the machines.
In industrialized countries it has been estimated that 15-20 % or more of the working population is affected by sound pressure levels of 75-85 dB.
The noise usually stems from a wide variety of sources or machines used in the industries.
![Page 22: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SYMPTOMS OF MACHINERY NOISE
If the employees have to raise their voices to carry out a normal conversation when about 2 m apart .
If the employees use noisy powered tools or machinery for more than half an hour each day.
If any one works in a noisy industry→engineering, textile, forging, pressing, bottling and foundries.
If there noises due to impacts (such as hammering, forging, pneumatic impact tools etc), explosive sources such as detonators or guns.

PROPERTIES OF SOUND
![Page 49: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
SOUND
Sound, and therefore all noise, is physically a rapid alteration of air pressure above and below atmospheric pressure.
All sounds travel as sound pressure waves from a vibrating body such as a human larynx, radio, TV, record player speaker, or vibrating machine.
Sound is transfer of energy without transfer of mass. Sound is a form of energy which is emitted by a vibrating
body and on reaching the ear causes the sensation of hearing through nerves.
![Page 50: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
ELEMENTS OF A SOUND WAVE
Frequency The frequency of a sound indicates the number of cycles
performed in 1 s:
f =1/T Hz
where T is the period of one full cycle. The unit for frequency is the hertz (Hz):
1 Hz = 1 cycle/sec 1000 Hz = 1 kilohertz = 1 kHz
![Page 51: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Wavelength The wavelength λ is equal to the distance the oscillations
have propagated in the time period T:
λ = cT = c/f
Speed In a free field, sound propagates with the velocity c defined
by:
c = 20.05√T (m/s)
where T is the temperature in Kelvin. A simpler formula for the velocity of sound in air
sufficiently accurate at normal temperatures, 0–30ºC, is:
c = 331+0.6 T˛ (m/s)
where T˛ is the temperature in centigrade.
![Page 52: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Pure Tone A sound that contains only one frequency is a pure tone.
Pitch Pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a
sound. Timbre
Timbre is the quality of a sound or tone that distinguishes different types of sound production.
Loudness Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary
psychological correlate of physical strength. Sound Pressure
It is the pressure generated by a sound wave.
![Page 53: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
SOUND PRESSURE
Root Mean Square Sound Pressure (rms) The rms value is obtained by squaring the sound pressures
at any instant of time and then integrating over the sample time and averaging the results. The rms value is then the square root of this time average.
Physically, the rms value is indicative of the energy density of the disturbance.
![Page 54: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Sound Pressure Level The sound pressures that are normally measured with a
sound-level meter cover an extremely large range. In order to handle in a simple manner such a large
measurement range, a logarithmic measurement scale is used.
The sound pressure level then is a logarithmic ratio L defined as:
where is sound pressure in interest (pa), and is reference sound pressure usually chosen as the limit of hearing of 20 µPa. The unit for SPL is Decibel (dB).
![Page 55: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Decibel The human ear is capable of identifying a wide range of
sounds. If we used the microbar to describe sounds, the numbers
would be very cumbersome. A sound that is perceived to be twice as loud as another is
said to be one Bel greater in sound level. A Bell is a unit of comparison. One decibel (1 dB) is one-tenth of a Bel.
![Page 56: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
ADDITIONS OF SOUND LEVELS
To add sound-level values, it is first necessary to convert each decibel reading to sound intensity.
All sound intensities are added and then the sum is converted to a resultant decibel reading. For example,
![Page 57: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

SOUND POWER LEVEL & LOUDNESS
Like SPL, Sound Power Level also exists over a wide range. It is expressed using a logarithmic scale which is based on an
internationally selected sound power as a reference:
Lw = 10 log(W/W0) dB
where W0 is 10-12 Watts.
Loudness Loudness is the human impression of the strength of a
sound. The unit of Loudness is phons. It is equal to the sound
pressure level (in dB) reference to 20 μPa of an equally loud 1000-Hz tone.
![Page 59: noise pollution and its control](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/546aa92eb4af9f5d6f8b495e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
MECHANISM OF HEARING

The human ear is an incredible instrument. Yet only recently have we become aware of the devastating
psychological effects of noise Sound pressure waves caused by vibrations set the eardrum
(tympanic membrane) in motion. This activates the three bones in middle ear, which physically
amplify the motion received by the ear drum and transfer it to the inner ear.
This fluid-filled cavity contains the cochlea, in which are present hair cells which deflect and send bioelectric signals to brain.

Microphone
• A microphones convert a sound wave into an electrical signal in which the voltage and current are proportional to the original sound.
• Most microphones today use electromagnetic induction , capacitance change, piezoelectric generation to produce the signal from mechanical vibration.
• To perform this task microphones use a thin membrane, known as a diaphragm, which mimics the function of the human ear.

Noise Dosimeter and Sound Analyzer
• The noise dosimeter will measure the amount of potentially injurious noise to which an individual is exposed over a period of time.
• The noise dosimeter does not, however,identify noise sources.
• A frequency analyzer may be necessary to measure complex sound and sound pressure according to frequency distribution.
• It will supplement readings obtained with a sound-level meter. Noise analyzers cover different frequency bands.
