Excessive noise levels over a prolonged period of time will damage your hearing. This may happen so gradually and painlessly that you may not even notice the minor deterioration from one day to the next. Excessive noise in the workplace presents a risk of hearing damage and other attributed health problems.

The parts of the ear that process high frequency sounds are usually the first to be affected. The degree of hearing loss depends on the loudness of the noise and how long you are exposed to it.

The term ambient internal noise in a room refers to background noise levels. This is primarily noise created by routine occupant activity. However, the sound that can be heard when there are no direct activities in the room, such as that from activities in adjacent spaces or the noise from fluorescent lights and HVAC systems, or modes of transport emanating from outside the building are constant factors.

Ambient noise levels are reduced when:

a room has a high level of acoustic insulation from the noises around it.
noise from mechanical services such as air conditioning is controlled through the acoustic design of ductwork and air attenuators.
noise from lighting is limited by avoiding cooling fans and noisy transformers in lighting systems.
