Abstract
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in a manufacturing area is dependent on the radiation of noise from each machine tool, its sound power level (SWL) and energy absorption efficiency of the surrounding surface. The developed equation shows dependance of SPL on two additive factors. The first one is the total SWL in the area and the second includes the reverberation and radiation of noise effects.
The aforementioned equation was developed into a computer programme that yields the plot of a SPL contour field.
