Noise Control at The Transmission Path

There are several techniques to control noise at the transmission path and receiver end. At the transmission path, increasing distance between source and receiver can reduce noise levels outdoors, while indoor noise is reduced less due to reflections. Planting trees around noisy areas can filter noise, and vibration isolation separates equipment from noise sources. At the receiver end, constructing houses with bedrooms away from noise and using earplugs, earmuffs, or noise-canceling headphones can decrease received noise levels. Proper land use planning and alternative transportation can also reduce noise pollution.

Noise Control At the Transmission Path

 Lengthening of Transmission Paths: It is obvious, but not always


practicable, to locate noisy equipment away from humans.
 In an outdoor environment, increasing the distance between the source
and receiver reduces noise by 6 dB for every doubling of distance.
 Indoors, when reflections from room surfaces decrease the effects of
distance, the reduction is usually less.
 It's better to keep loud sources and locations away from sensitive areas,
whether outside or inside.

Noise Control At the Transmission Path

 Lengthening of Transmission Paths: It is obvious, but not always

 In an outdoor environment, increasing the distance between the source
and receiver reduces noise by 6 dB for every doubling of distance.
 Indoors, when reflections from room surfaces decrease the effects of
distance, the reduction is usually less.
 It's better to keep loud sources and locations away from sensitive areas,
whether outside or inside.

 Green Muffler: Green Muffler is a technique for reducing noise pollution at the
source that involves planting 4-6 rows of trees around populous regions or
noisy places such as roadsides, industrial zones, communities near highways,
and so on, so that dense trees filter out the noise and prevent it from reaching
the people.
 Vibration Isolation: Vibration isolation is a popular method of eliminating or
suppressing undesirable vibrations in structures and devices.
 The equipment or system of interest is separated from the source of vibration using
this technique, which involves inserting a resilient part or isolator.

 Other Measures: Separating noise sources from noise sensitive uses is an


obvious strategy to reduce noise.
 However, in a compact and high-rise metropolis, relying solely on distance
attenuation to reduce noise, as in the case of road traffic noise, is generally
impractical.
 Additional Noise Attenuation: Additional noise attenuation is frequently used,
which can be achieved through natural landscape screening (such as earth bunds),
noise-tolerant structures (such as car parking, commercial blocks, or acoustic-
insulated office buildings), deliberately designed podium decking, noise barriers, or
enclosures.
 Proper Land Use Planning: Proper land use planning to avoid busy highways
cutting through residential projects or coming too close to sensitive uses; situating
noise-tolerant uses to screen noise-sensitive developments;
 Alternative Modes of Transportation: Alternative modes of transportation, such as
railways, pedestrian bridges, bicycle paths, and underground roadways, can all be
considered early in the planning process to avoid or reduce noise.
Noise Control At the Receiver End

 Construction of Houses: The influence of noise on the receiver can be decreased


by placing noise-sensitive usage such as the construction of bedrooms away from
noise sources.
 Usage of Superior Glasses: While superior glass can reduce noise, its use in
residential buildings effectively denies the recipient of an "open-window" lifestyle and
necessitates the supply of air conditioning due to Hong Kong's hot and humid
climate.
 As a result, it is frequently employed only as a last option.
 Earplug: Loud noises can be reduced to a reasonable level with the use of
earplugs or earmuffs.
 Earplugs are little inserts that are inserted into the ear canal. Earmuffs cover the
entire outer ear, forming an air seal that protects the ears from harsh noises.
 The majority of disposable earplugs are elastic memory foam cylinders that are rolled
into a tight cylinder and then put into the ear canal.
 When the earplug is removed, it expands until it plugs the canal, preventing sound
waves from reaching the eardrum.
 Non-Jarring Horns: Blowing pressure horns is not only illegal, but it also
creates a great deal of annoyance. Non-Jarring horns are designed to
reduce the threat of noise pollution created by the use of pressure horns
in buses and trucks.
 Vehicles can be equipped with these horns to lessen the noise of continuous
traffic hoots.
 Noise-canceling Headphones: Noise-canceling headphones, also known as
active noise-canceling headphones, analyze ambient sound and seek to
generate the "opposite" sound via electronic processing.
 Noise-canceling headphones listen to the environment and block out
undesirable noise before it reaches the ears.
 When the soundwaves meet, little microphones in the ear cups or earbuds
listen to the outside noise frequencies and emit the exact opposite signal,
essentially canceling out both sets of noises.

Law Enforcement

 State and local governments should enact regulations to protect residents from noise
pollution in residential zones.
 They can delegate authority to community law enforcement officers, who will be
tasked with monitoring noise polluters.
 For instance, laws are enforced to ensure that factories or enterprises that produce
noise are located and operated away from schools, colleges, hospitals, and
residential areas.
