International Noise Awareness Day
International Noise Awareness Day, designed to promote awareness of the dangers of long-term exposure to noise is April 28. We are often unaware of just how loud the things we encounter each day are. Consider the decibel levels of these common noise sources:
Washing machine: 50 to 75 dBA
Normal conversation: 60 dBA
Vacuum cleaner: 60 to 85 dBA
Freeway traffic: 70 dBA
Garbage disposal: 80 to 95 dBA
Car horn: 110 dBA
Squeaky toy held close to ear: 110 dBA
Industrial Hearing Service cares about your employee’s occupational and non-occupational hearing health.
