1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe noise-control treatments most commonly observed on drills and bolters during this study were evaluated on machines at underground metal mines to determine the amount of noise reduction achieved by each control.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper reports on a cooperative study on vibrating screen noise conducted at a coal preparation plant. Rubber isolators were found to reduce sound levels by 1 dB and amped side plates reduced vibration levels on the screen sides by 1 to 7 dB(A).
