This document discusses strategies for noise control at the source, along the transmission path, and at the receiver. It describes how noise can be controlled at the source through methods like vibration damping, isolation, proper equipment siting and maintenance. Noise can be blocked along the path using barriers, absorbers, insulators and strip curtains. At the receiver, noise control involves enclosing the space using sealed doors/windows and absorptive internal surfaces, as well as using protective equipment like ear plugs.

3. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Noise is unwanted sound. It can cause
hearing loss, disturb verbal communication or
cause nuisance. The most common sources
are industrial noise and traffic. Vibrations can
cause damage to assets, radiate noise or
cause discomfort to people.
Noise control or noise mitigation is a set of
strategies to reduce noise pollution or to
reduce the impact of that noise, whether
outdoors or indoors.

Control the source.
Block the path.
Enclose the receiver.

7. WHY NOISE AT SOURCE?WHY NOISE AT SOURCE?
Mechanical shock between two machine
parts.
Friction between two machine parts.
Unbalance rotating and reciprocating parts.
Vibration of large parts.
Loose fitting.
Irregular fluid flow.
Improper maintenance.

8. Vibration damping:- Applicable for large
vibrating surfaces. The damping mechanism
works by extracting the vibration energy
from the thin sheet and dissipating it as heat.
A common material is sound deadened steel.
Vibration isolation:- Reverts transmission
of vibration energy from a source to a
receiver by introducing a flexible element or
a physical break. Common vibration isolators
are springs, rubber mounts, cork etc.

9. Judicious sitting of the mechanical equipment.
Proper maintenance.
Proper material of machine part (For
example:-nylon gears can be used instead of
metal gears.).
Choice of low noise mechanical equipment.

12. Noise insulator:- Prevent the transmission of
noise by the introduction of a mass barrier.
Common materials have high-density properties
such as brick, thick glass, concrete, metal etc.
Noise absorber:- A porous material which
acts as a ‘noise sponge’ by converting the sound
energy into heat within the material. Common
sound absorption materials include decoupled
lead-based tiles, open cell foams and fiberglass.

19. Use head sets and ear plugs in industry.
Doors and windows should be well sealed.
Ventilation opening should be provided with
acoustic attenuators.
Internal surface should be made of absorptive
materials.
Innovative building design may be used to prevent
or reduce the intrusion of noise. For example, no
window openings facing noise source.
