The Framework for Determining Efficiency of Noise Control Method Using Fuzzy Approach

Abstract

Introduction: This paper tries to determine efficiency of noise control method using fuzzy logic and based on collected data. Methods and Materials: from among various methods of noise control in workplace, sex methods (enclosure, installing noise absorber, enclosure and absorber, active, and administrative control, and personal protective equipment) were typically selected based on experts' judgment. For each of selected control methods, a possible rate of noise reduction was estimated based on experts' opinion and literature review. Moreover, cost of accomplishment was also estimated for each of control methods, and with regard of existing variables the efficiency of any method was determined.
