Daily Sound Dose Estimator
Calculate daily sound dose and equivalent continuous sound levels for workplace noise exposure assessment.What is Noise Exposure Assessment?
Noise exposure assessment is a systematic evaluation of workplace noise levels to determine potential hearing health risks and compliance with occupational safety standards.
It helps organizations identify hazardous noise levels, implement appropriate controls, and protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss.
Noise Dose Formula
Dose =
Σ (C₁/T₁ + C₂/T₂ + ... + Cₙ/Tₙ) × 100
Where: C = Duration of exposure, T = Permissible duration
Risk Levels
Low Risk≤ 50%
Moderate Risk50-100%
High Risk100-200%
Critical Risk> 200%
Important Notes
Use calibrated sound level meters for accurate measurements
Consider all noise sources and exposure durations
Follow local regulations and standards for noise exposure
Implement hearing protection when exposure exceeds limits
