Keeping abreast with cutting-edge measurement and assessment techniques for complex noise in the workplace

  • Complex noise is the dominant type of noise in workplaces. It can cause more serious hearing loss than steady-state noise. The existing noise measurement and evaluation standards based on the "equal energy hypothesis" are not completely suitable for complex noise. This paper introduced the status quo of workplace noise measurement and assessment techniques, and the research progress of workplace complex noise measurement and assessment techniques. In terms of future research in this area, four proposals were made, including to improve associated population database, develop and revise noise-related standards, establish methodology of kurtosis adjustment, and identify the incidence characteristics of kurtosis-related occupational hearing loss. The paper also introduced the special column "Measurement and assessment techniques of complex noise in the workplace".
