| Abstract |
Noise is estimated to be responsible for a quarter of all occupational diseases. However, it is often difficult to implement preventive measures in practice. The OUIE2000 software tool developed in the context of an earlier project enabled the analysis of sound doses and the evaluation of the efficiency of acoustic measures. However, the determination of certain parameters and data necessary for practical analyses (such as the acoustic power of sound sources) remained difficult. This report presents the efforts undertaken to make the software easier to use and explains some of the new features that have been added, namely the generation of experimental noise maps, the integration of an analytical sound meter, the experimental evaluation of the acoustic power of a noise source and the theoretical evaluation of the acoustic power of common sources of noise. |
