RESEARCH AND MAPPING OF LOW FREQUENCY NOISE GENERATED BY POWER PLANTS OF INDUSTRIAL ENTREPRISES

Abstract

Environmental noise level from industrial enterprises is constantly increasing, especially in low frequency range. This paper
presents the results of research and mapping of low frequency noise generated by power plants of industrial enterprises. Environmental noise mapping results of urban territory of Samara region of Russia are also presented. Results of noise measurements during industrial enterprises operation (on the example of “KuibyshevAzot” company) are showing that in some measuring points there were exceeding values compared with Russian sanitary norms requirements. The most serious problem is low frequency noise impact.
