What is Workplace Noise?

Noise Levels

Workplace noise is any noise that occurs in the workplace that can be a source of irritation, distraction, or other health and safety risks to employees. It generally refers to any kind of noise that can be disruptive or harmful to workers in a work environment.

There are many different sources of noise in the workplace ranging from machinery and equipment to co-workers and general outside noise.

In many cases, excessive noise can be a part of the job, such as in construction or manufacturing. Employers are required to take steps to minimize hazardous noise exposure to their employees.

There are several health risks associated with noise exposure, including noise-induced hearing loss, damaged hearing, tinnitus and stress.

How is Noise Measured in The Workplace?

Noise in the workplace can be measured using a sound level meter. A sound level meter is an instrument used to measure sound pressure levels in decibels (dB). The most common type of sound level meter is the A-weighted sound level meter, which is used to measure noise levels in dB(A).

A sound level meter is an important tool for anyone who needs to measure sound levels in their workplace, to ensure that noise levels remain below a certain threshold.
