Benefits Of Drilling Noise Control

By Anita Ortega


Sound that is mainly produced by machines while drilling oil or gas is normally disturbing to the neighborhood. It usually causes numerous health impairments and thus needs to be controlled. The intensity of this sound can be regulated by use of various techniques ranging from the construction of barriers to use of engineered mechanisms. For instance, many techniques have been applied by many drilling companies to regulate the intensity of sounds produced by their machines. Drilling noise control is important and need to be applied for its numerous benefits.

The noise that comes from the boring machines is usually in high intensity thus can lead to hearing impairment. Ears are made to receive and respond to certain sound intensity within a certain frequency. If the intensity and the frequency of sound exceeds, it endangers human ear organs, as they can easily get impaired. It is thus vital for the companies to ensure that they regulate the intensity of sound for the safety of the people around their working area.

A sound of high intensity affects the way the body functions. This is in the sense that it affects thickness of blood hindering its circulation to all body parts. This creates blood deficiency in some parts and organs of the body thus affecting their function. It also affects oxygen supply causing breathing problems. To avoid these health complications, sound needs to get regulated.

People living in noisy areas are likely to experience low thinking ability as well as frequent chronic headaches. This is because it usually affects the functioning of the brain as it is meant to work best in less noisy areas. This makes the people in noisy areas become less productive as their performance is poor when it comes to doing activities. This calls for sound regulation measures to enhance productivity of people.

Regulation of sounds reduces noises and this helps to reduce the anxiety and stress to the people. Excessive sound leads to discomforts that hinder an individual from performing his or her essential activities effectively. However, with controlled sounds, people are able to run their activities well without any inconveniences of stress or anxiety.

People who live in noisy areas have the likelihood of experiencing cardiovascular problems and poor cognitive function. This endangers learning institutions in the area, as they are likely to yield poor results due to adverse effects of noises to learners. Standardizing sounds that are coming from the factories and drilling plants is a sure way of making the environment suitable for learning.

Most industries are carrying out activities that could cause an unwanted and noisy environment, as many people usually do not like living in areas where there is sound pollution. This is because people have the knowledge of the effects of noises to their health. Moreover, it actually intrudes to their recreation and privacy while in the comfort of their homes. This certainly calls for immense sound control measures to enhance better living standards of people.

Regulation of sounds needs to be done in companies and industries to promote a peaceful surrounding for human activities. This helps people carry out their activities effectively to create a productive society. Regulation of sound is also the best way of protecting human health and the environment that sustains comfortable life.
