Talk Abstract
Noise is now one of the most significant human hazards in the workplace, making it difficult to communicate by voice, to hear alarms and warnings, and a source of many ailments and diseases, especially hearing diseases. Noise in the home makes it difficult to rest and causes irritation. One of the most important sources of noise is equipment, both industrial and domestic. Road noise plays a significant role as well. Even ventilation and air-conditioning noise can be irritating when one wants to rest. During the presentation, the author's contribution to noise control technology will be presented. An innovative solution for personal reduction will be presented. An advanced system for noise reduction in HVAC equipment as well as in large industrial halls will be shown. The author's own approach of vibrating enclosures to reduce the noise passing through them will be discussed. Low-cost solutions - passive and semi-active - will be offered.
