Industrial noise can be controlled through several methods: 1) Reducing noise at its source by repairing old machines or adding vibration dampers. 2) Enclosing noisy machines in isolated rooms with sound absorbing materials. 3) Absorbing remaining noise using sound absorbing walls, high ceilings, and empty space near machines. 4) As a last resort, workers should wear protective ear equipment like plugs or muffs when near high noise machines, as excessive noise can cause health issues.
