Noise mapping of an enterprise on agricultural machineries production

Noise, which is negative result of increasing in technological development and industrial area, has been coming into our life. In these days, technology is progressing and machines are preferred to manpower, so agricultural production also are done more fast and easy with machines. In the soil cultivation in agricultural production, beginning from the soil maintenance till the harvest, is benefited from machine power. In our country, there are many enterprises operating in the field of agricultural machinery. Production of agricultural machinery is carried out in various stages in these enterprises. In the production process, a lot of devices are used. In this research, noise measurement was performed with sonometer in order to determine the amount of noise that workers are exposed to in enterprises which are manufactured agricultural machinery. As a result of the measurements, nowadays soil cultivation, which is indispensable in agricultural production, the noise level that the workers are exposed to during production of the maintenance machine, is determined. As a result of the measurements, nowadays soil cultivation, which is indispensable in agricultural production, the noise level that the workers are exposed to during production of the maintenance machine, was determined. Apart from the noise map created for the machines and production lines used in the enterprises, the instantaneous noise change was determined for the working environment, production lines and working machines. Measurements were performed with KMOON GM1352 device at 60 points in three repetition during the mapping phase. As a result of the measurements, it has been determined that the noise generated in the environment is at the value specified in the regulation and these values are exceeded only in the instantaneous volume level increases.
