Discussion

Noise known as an unwanted or unpleasant or loud sound. There were many source of noise which
can come from working station, home or at school or university. Those sound can be differentiate by
its own level which can exposed for a long period of time or short period of time .Exposed to high level
noise for a long time can be effect to human hearing or can become deaf. Nowadays there were many
ways to overcome those problem.

Noise can be measured to differentiate its level. For this practical 2 type equipment was used to
measured noise. Firstly Sound Level Meter or SLM , basically SLM used to measured noise surrounding
of working station from a source of noise , different from second equipment which was dosimeter,
dosimeter used to measured noise for individual exposed on the working station . From both equipment
worker can used that for monitoring their exposal to noise hourly or daily to identified they were safe
or in danger situation .

The practical begin first by technician divided student into 3 group. Each group then were send to
different placed that have a point source of noise. Student will used both equipment which were SLM
and dosimeter to measure the noise level with specific distance given which was 1 meter radius comes
with 3 point which were right point , middle point and right point . For SLM each point recoded about
5 minute and was repeated three times to get average of noise level and for dosimeter, the radius was 2
meter from point source and the result also repeated 3 times to get the average noise . After getting all
the data, value of intensity for each point were calculated by using provided intensity formulae in the
practical manual.

Based on the result, the highest intensity was at first 1 meter which was 0.000015848 w/m2 and
for the lowest intensity was at 3 meter distance at 0.000001584 w/m2. On the experiment the reading
of noise at first a bit high because the point was near to the pump and also based on the theory the noise
should be higher when the indicator near the noise source, the more near to source the higher reading
of noise . In the theory, sound or noise move or travel in mechanical waves and transport from one place
to another through the medium. If there were a disturbance or barrier it will affect the movement of the
sound.

As a conclusion, student all familiarize using both equipment, all student was experience to
measured and calculate the noise and Intensity. So that the objective of this practical basically achieved.
