Abstract

Hearing loss caused by exposure to industrial machine noise results in devastating disability that is mostly preventable. And recent researches indicate that the noise may also induce hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In addition the sleep polygraph provides many indicators of sleep disturbance by the noise. In this paper we make an analysis on ball bearing machine noise, a kind of the industrial noise. The analysis of Its power spectrum is based on FFT(Fast Fourier Transform). And then the spectral results of the noise are compared with that of the spectrum for an auditory signal. The signal is measured from the pronunciation of two Koreans. Finally we suggest the most important stratagem to prevent the noise for worker's health and efficiency.
