Noise Levels and Crew Noise Exposure Aboard US Merchant Vessels. Data Measured on Seven Ships during Normal Cruising

摘要

To establish a data base for a US position on allowable noise on merchant vessels, NOSC was tasked by the US Coast Guard to obtain up-to-date data on noise levels on a small sample of US merchant vessels. This was done on seven vessels selected from representative types of the US merchant fleet available during the period September to December 1978. Data from the seven vessels measured are presented in this report. (Author)
