  EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL NOISE ON HEARING
Industrial noise, and its unpleasantness, is associated with a lower level of job satisfaction.
There was no real evidence of a difference between noise exposed workers and their controls with respect to the changes in hearing level during the course of their follow-up one and two years after initial audiograms.
Dryter (1991) found that industrial noise is deduced to cause about half as much overall increase in male population hearing levels as that caused by exposure to gun noise.

  Industrial noise control.
Industrial noise pollution is an ever growing problem and its management is centred around many pieces of legislation, standards, guidance documents, etc. many of which frequently contradict each other.
BS 4142: 1990 "Rating Industrial Noise Affecting Mixed Residential and Industrial Areas" is the most important guidance document here and is the one most frequently used by environmental health officers to determine the degree of nuisance from a factory.
Standards for leisure noise are not at all clear and, in many cases have codes of practice set-up by the industry body and, hence, have debatable objectivity.

 Noise music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noise music is a sub-genre of experimental music constructed from noise as opposed to recognisable sound or pitches.
"Noise" music is regarded by some as a contradiction in terms, because "noise" is generally defined as unwanted and undesigned or unintentional sound and music as the opposite (see Definition of music).
Noise music is loosely related to industrial music, sharing its DIY ethos, independence and ethic of using "non-musical" sources.

 Industrial noise - Noise for health and safety - Questions about measurements
Noise of course is simply the effect of changes in air pressure impinging on the ear.
As an aside, a few genuine noise experts have very firm and long-held opinions as to which method – SLM or PSEM – is the better and will defend their position as though it was a religious or political argument.
Clearly as noise is changing all the time, the manual method may not be measuring the same noise in each band, so with manual instruments either an average must be taken or the noise must be very steady.

 NPC Resources: Environmental Noise Booklet from Bruer & Kjaer
Noise of this kind is typical for large diesel engines in trains, ships, and power plants and, since the noise is hard to muffle and spreads easily in all directions, it can be heard for miles.
The annoyance due to a given noise source is perceived very differently from person to person, and is also dependent upon many non-acoustic factors such as the prominence of the source, its importance to the listener’s economy and his or her personal opinion of the source.
Outdoor noise levels usually decrease with increasing distance from the source because of geometrical spreading of the noise energy over a bigger surface and absorption of the noise by the atmosphere and by the ground.

 Industrial hygiene - Noise
The OSHA noise standard 29 CFR 1910.95 requires employers with employees that are exposed to an 8 hour average noise level of 85 decibels (A-weighted) or greater establish a formal hearing conservation program.
Looking at the noise chart, if, for example, you have employees using power lawnmowers or a combination of other equipment for 8 hours, it is likely that they would need to be included in a hearing conservation program.
The Safety and Industrial Hygiene Unit has a sound level meter for spot noise measurements and two noise dosimeters to determine employee noise dose and average exposure levels that are available for loan.
