By noise wavelength

By urban noise category

  • traffic noise
It mainly refers to vehicles such as motor vehicles, aircraft, trains and ships Runtime Noise emitted. Of these noises noise source It is mobile and has a large interference range.
  • Industrial noise
Mainly refers to industry productive labor Noise generated in. Mainly from machines and high-speed running equipment.
  • Construction noise
Mainly refers to buildings Construction site Noise generated. In construction, a large number of Power machinery It is necessary to excavate, drill holes, mix, and frequently transport materials and components, thus generating a lot of noise.
construction stage The noise shall not exceed the following Limits :
one Bulldozer , excavator, Loader Etc, daytime Not more than 75 dB, not more than 55 dB at night
2. Various Piling machine It shall not exceed 85 dB in the daytime, otherwise construction is prohibited

sketch

adequate noise control , must consider noise source The whole system composed of noise transmission path and noise receiver.
Although the technology of noise control is mature modern industry communications and transportation industry The scale is very large, and there are many enterprises and places that need to adopt noise control. Therefore, in terms of preventing noise, we must make a comprehensive balance from the aspects of technology, economy and effect. Of course, specific issues should make a concrete analysis The noise intensity shall be low outside the control room, design room, workshop or the place where the staff work for a long time; Few people go to workshops or open places in the warehouse, so it is OK to have a little higher noise. In short, there should be some differences in the treatment of noise at different times, places, natures and durations.

Control noise source

reduce sound source Noise, industry and transportation industry can choose low-noise Production equipment And improvements Production process , or change the motion mode of the noise source (such as damping and other measures to reduce solids Phonator Of [1] Mechanical wave )。
  • Measures in buildings
In buildings, measures taken to reduce noise are mainly sound insulation and absorption. Sound insulation is to isolate the sound source and prevent the noise generated by the sound source from spreading indoors. Planting trees on both sides of the road can insulate the houses on both sides. For multi-layer dense materials in buildings porous material Separated Sandwich structure It will also have a good sound insulation effect. In order to eliminate noise, commonly used Sound absorbing material Mainly Porous sound-absorbing material , such as Glass wool Mineral wool Expanded perlite , Perforation Sound-absorbing board Etc. The sound absorption performance of a material depends on its friction , flexibility, porosity and other factors. In addition, the lawns and trees around the buildings are also good sound absorption materials, so planting flowers and trees not only beautifies the living and learning environment, but also prevents noise from polluting the environment.

Blocking noise propagation

Reduce noise in the way of noise transmission, Control noise To change the noise already emitted by the sound source Route of transmission , such as adopting noise absorption, noise barrier and other measures, and reasonably planning the urban and architectural layout.

Take measures against noise

The noise protection of the noise recipient or noise organ cannot take measures on the sound source and transmission path, or the acoustic measures taken still cannot reach anticipate result It is necessary to take Protective measures For example, workers exposed to long-term occupational noise can wear earplugs Earmuff Or helmet, etc Ear protector

Interference with rest and sleep

Rest and sleep are for people to eliminate fatigue, restore physical strength and maintain health necessary condition However, noise makes people restless and difficult to rest and sleep. When people can't fall asleep after tossing and turning, they will feel nervous, Shortness of breath The pulse will beat faster and the brain will be more excited, and you will feel tired or weak the next day. So as to affect work and study, as time goes by Neurasthenia Symptoms, manifested as insomnia tinnitus , fatigue. After people go to sleep, even if it is 40-50 decibels lighter noise interference , will also change from a deep sleep to a semi deep sleep. When people are asleep, their brain activity is slow and regular, and they can get full rest; While in the state of semi deep sleep, the brain is still in a tense and active stage, which will make people unable to get sufficient rest and physical recovery.

Reduce work efficiency

The study found that noise above 85 decibels will make people feel upset, and people will feel noisy, so they can't concentrate on their work, which will result in work efficiency Lower.

Auditory fatigue

Having such experience, getting off the plane or from Forging workshop Come out, you can't hear the voice of the other side clearly, and it will recover after a while. This phenomenon is called Auditory fatigue , is the human body organ of hearing A protective response to the external environment.

Hearing loss

If people are exposed to strong noise for a long time, their hearing will be weakened, which will lead to Organic damage , causing Hearing loss

Cardiovascular damage

Noise is Cardiovascular disease Noise will accelerate heart aging and increase myocardial infarction morbidity. Medical experts Animal experiment It is proved that long-term exposure to noise can adrenal gland The increase of secretion will increase the blood pressure. People who live in the noise of 70 decibels on average for a long time can increase the incidence of myocardial infarction by about 30%, especially at night. The survey found that living in expressway The myocardial infarction rate of nearby residents increased by about 30%. 1101 women textile workers were investigated, hypertension The incidence rate was 7.2%, of which Contact strength The incidence of hypertension was 15.2% when the noise reached 100 decibels.

Cause ear discomfort

  • Such as tinnitus, earache, hearing loss
It is determined that noise exceeding 115 dB will also cause deaf according to clinical medicine According to statistics, if people live in a noise environment of more than 80 decibels, 50% of them will be deaf. Medical experts believe that family noise is caused by children deaf-mute One of the causes of the disease. Noise is more harmful to children's physical and mental health. Because the children are not mature, noise can damage the hearing organs, whether it is the fetus in the body or the newborn child Hearing loss Or lost. According to statistics, there are more than 70 million deaf people in the world today, most of whom are caused by noise. Expert research has proved that indoor noise is the main reason for children's deafness. If they live in noise above 85 decibels, the deaf can reach 5%.

be bad for eyes

People only know that noise affects hearing. In fact, noise also affects brain nerve metabolism, and then Indirect impact vision. The experiment shows that when the noise intensity reaches 90 decibels, human visual cells susceptibility Descend, identify weak light reaction time Extension; When the noise reaches 95 decibels, 40% of the people Pupillary enlargement , blurred vision; When the noise reaches 115 decibels, most people's eyes Luminance The adaptation of. So people who have been in the noise environment for a long time are easy to happen Eyestrain Eye injuries, such as eye pain, blurred eyes and tears. At the same time, noise will also make Color vision The visual field is abnormal. Noise found in investigation Para red , blue and white Reduced vision 80%。

Damage nerves

If the noise acts on people for a long time central nervous system , can make Cerebral cortex Excitation and inhibition disorders, abnormal conditioned reflex dizzy headache , tinnitus abnormal sweating , insomnia, panic Memory loss , inattention and other symptoms, which can occur in serious cases Insanity The curative effect of drug treatment for this symptom is poor, but when the noise environment is removed, the symptom will be significantly improved.

Nerve disorders

Noise can cause Autonomic nervous system Dysfunction , manifested in the increase or decrease of blood pressure and the change of heart rate, heart disease Aggravated. Noise will reduce the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, gastric acid Lower, Stomach Decreased peristalsis Anorexia , causing gastric ulcer

Internal disjunction

  • (such as damage to female physiological function)
Noise also has an impact on human endocrine function, such as: leading to female sexual dysfunction, menstrual disorders, abortion, premature birth rate increase. Noise not only affects women Noise deafness And has adverse effects on menstruation and fertility of women. In addition, it may lead to abortion, premature delivery, or even Teratology Foreign countries have investigated the prevalence of miscarriage and premature delivery among pregnant women in a certain area, and found that they live around an airport. The culprit is the strong noise generated by the huge energy of the aircraft that flies and lands.

Unfavorable development

According to the survey, children live in a noise environment of 75 decibels Functional development They will be damaged to varying degrees. Children living in noise environment have 20% lower intellectual development than children living in quiet conditions.
Because children are not yet mature, noise can damage the hearing organs and cause hearing loss, whether it is a fetus in the body or a newborn child. According to statistics, there are more than 70 million deaf people in the world today, most of whom are caused by noise. Expert research has proved that indoor noise is the main reason for children's deafness. If they live in noise above 85 decibels, the deaf can reach 5%.

Influence people's psychology

The psychological impact of noise on people is mainly to make people upset, excited, irritable, and even lose their sense.
Noise is harmful to animals and buildings plant growth Bad, some even died.
Noise may cause nervous system Dysfunction Mental disorders Endocrine disorder even to the extent that Accident rate rise. The high noise working environment may cause dizziness, headache, insomnia, dreaminess General fatigue , memory loss, fear, irritability, inferiority and even insanity. In Japan, there have been cases of insanity and suicide due to unbearable train noise.

Traffic noise

The increasingly developed urban transportation industry has brought convenience and comfort to people's work and life, and also promoted the economic development. However, we can't help but see that with the increase of urban and rural vehicles and the increase of highway and railway trunk lines, the noise of locomotives and motor vehicles has become traffic noise The culprit of city noise 75%. Statistics show that Beijing is a world famous city with noise pollution. Although the urban vehicles are less than one tenth of those in Japan, the noise level is twice as high as that in Japan. In particular, some buildings facing the street suffered a lot.

Industrial machinery noise

This is also indoor noise pollution The main source of. Due to various Power machine Working machine The combustion, impact, friction and jet generated during work can produce sound above 70 or 80 decibels. Textile workshop, forging workshop, crushing workshop and steel plant, cement plant, air pump room and water pump room are all serious. Although noise reduction treatment has been done to a certain extent, the noise generated by the machine body cannot be fundamentally eliminated.

Urban building noise

From 2010 to 2013, urban construction developed rapidly, including road construction, infrastructure construction, urban building development Old city reconstruction , as well as the interior decoration of common people's families, which has caused urban building noise Construction site The noise is generally above 90 decibels, up to 130 decibels.

Social noise

For example, commercial noise in public places, restaurants, buses Passenger train , crowd gatherings, etc. According to statistics, civil life And public places accounted for 14.4% of urban noise.

noise pollution

With the development of people's life modernization, the noise of household appliances in the family is more and more harmful to people.
According to the test, TV recorder The noise generated can reach 60 to 80 decibels, 42 to 70 decibels for washing machines and 34 to 50 decibels for refrigerators.
Family karaoke machines are widely popular. Some people are indulged in enjoyment regardless of others' happiness, which adds noise Pollution intensity
