Noise Study of a Naval Ship in Different Operating Modes on the Danube

Abstract

In this paper are described the experimental measurements of noise transmitted to the staff from a naval ship during different operating modes on the Danube. This paper is focused on the technical aspects of the Directive 2003/10/EC regulations. The measurements targeted the staff’s comfort both in the engines room and on the decks. The living conditions inside the cabins and inside the common areas were also taken into account. The parallel between the limit values (Directive 2003/10/EC) and the mean value of the experimental results shows that: Limit values (2003/10/EC) for noise level (dB) Values above which adverse comments are probable 80 Values above which adverse comments are not probable 87
