Reason For Taking Appropriate Drilling Noise Control Measures

By Eugenia Dickerson


The intensity of the sound produced by machines in construction sites can be regulated by use of various techniques. This varies from the construction of barriers to use of engineered mechanisms. Drilling companies have for example been using different mechanisms to lower the intensity of sound produced from their machines. You will find various benefits that come with proper drilling noise control measures.

Exposure to too much noise especially one coming from boring machines can lead to hearing impairment. This is because the ear is made to receive and respond to certain sound intensity and within certain sound frequencies. However, when the sound is too much, the eardrum may be damaged affecting the ability of the eardrum to receive sounds.

Controlling the sound coming from machines can also reduce breathing problems. This is because excess noise can affect how thick the blood is and this may not make it to flow smoothly. Some parts of the body like the brain may end up not getting enough blood and this means that they would also lack oxygen. This can lead to one experiencing difficulties during breathing and one may even have brain damage.

Machine noises may also cause chronic headaches and this may lead to one being irritable. This may greatly affect the productivity of an individual at work especially people who may require a lot of concentration in the kind of job they do. Once they have a headache they cannot participate effectively in their work schedule, which means the overall job performance is affected.

Whenever machines operate under regulated sound production, this may also prevent high blood pressure problems. Mostly excess sound production leads to increased production of the adrenalin hormone. The blood vessels also contract when there is too much noise. The presence of adrenaline and the contraction of blood vessels may then lead to one having high blood pressure.

When a construction company is able to reduce the noises produced during construction, they can also reduce the chances of people having anxiety and stress. Once your brain is stressed by the high sound, this may lead to an increase in the heart rate. The increase in the heart rate may thus make one have a feeling of anxiety, which means one cannot feel at ease.

People living in places that are not too noisy are likely to be more productive than those who live in noisy places. Considering that various people would not be productive in noisy surroundings, when the sound is decreased they can be able to work much better and this increases their productivity. This can reduce the problem of reduced productivity due to a place being noisy.

Taking the appropriate drilling noise control measures is important in ensuring that people leave in an environment free from different kinds of pollution. A place that is not polluted by sound is a great place to stay in, since excess sound can affect people in various ways making them unable to perform their everyday duties effectively. High sounds can also cause various health problems among them being ear impairment, stress, chronic headaches, breathing problems among others. However, when the noise levels are regulated properly, this ensures everyone is satisfied making sure that people can attend to various activities without such problems.
