“…Noise originating from diesel engines includes mechanical noise, namely the noise generated from mechanical sources peaks around a certain frequency and is very loud for the human ear. Creating a special room for the device that can absorb sound noise or in that room a noise barrier is installed [30] so that the noise is only in that room without spreading to other production rooms. The second is to control noise with administrative methods.…”

Home Industry has a positive impact on absorbing labor, but is still lacking in supervision. Bakpao Arum Jaya’s home industry is a small-scale industry that uses noise-producing equipment. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of noise intensity when the machine is working during the production process. This research uses the quantitative descriptive method. The data used are primary data from field measurements and secondary data. The measurement points were carried out in the grinding room and steam area. The results showed that the Leq of the milling room was 89.36 dB(A) which exceeded the TLV and the Leq of the steam area was 77.34 dB(A) which did not exceed the TLV. Playing music through speakers can also increase the noise in the work area. In the steam area, if measurements are taken on three steam equipment that is turned on simultaneously, the noise value will be greater than the measurement results and may exceed the allowable TLV. Exposure to noise every day will have an impact on health problems for workers. Forms of mitigation that can be done are administrative mitigation, worker health checks, use of protective equipment, and reducing noise from the source.

“…The main markets for rail passenger transport are long-distance passenger services and urban or suburban services in large cities (Nash & Fowkes, 2021 ). It can be said that rail transport is generally considered one of the most environmentally friendly types of transport (Tumavičė et al, 2016 ), especially in the field of air pollution and emissions (Murphy & King, 2014b ; Travaini et al, 2013 ).…”

In this study, the effects of noise and vibrations caused by railways on the lives of residents around the railways in districts 17 and 18 of Tehran, the capital of Iran which amounts to about 700,000 people, are investigated. In the first stage the actual level of noise was measured at various points which showed above standard levels. Afterward, the authors developed a questionnaire and the survey was conducted from 376 residents. The findings of this study show that the most important factor for the residents adjacent to the railway line is the need for action by the country's railway authorities to reduce and control the adverse effects of noise and vibration. Also, the analysis of inferential statistics performed by chi-square test shows that the variables of gender and proximity of residence or workplace or both to the railway do not affect any of the railway noise or vibration dissatisfaction. The age variable also has no effect on noise dissatisfaction but does impact on vibration. Finally, distance from the railway affects both disaffection from noise and vibration.

“…To reduce this noise, different measures could be implemented in different places such as at the source, between the source and the receiver and at the receiver [12] [26]. Rail transport which is ecologically and economically and significantly accepted, faces the demand to guarantee on such values of noise emission that do not exceed the permitted noise limits monitored in tracks for different speed zones which standard, speed and high speed track [13].…”

Abstract. Railway transportation known as one of the most environmental friendly transportation mode. However, the significance problems of railway transportation are noise pollution and negatively impact the wellbeing of the whole community. Unfortunately, there has been lack of public awareness about the noise level produce by the railway transportation in Malaysia. This study investigates the noise level produced by railway transportation in Malaysia specifically by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). Methods of collecting existing noise level at railway stations in Malaysia are briefly discussed in this study. The finding indicates that the noise level produced by the railway transportation in Malaysia which is by KTMB is considered as dangerous to human being and also exceed the noise limit that has been assigned by Department of Environment Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Malaysia. A better noise barrier and improved material should be developed to mitigate the existing noise level produced by railway transportations in Malaysia.
