Abstract

This study aims to provide an effective method to reduce construction noise generated by breakers. To reduce the breaker's noise level, a sound encloser was developed; the sound insulation's performance was tested in the field. From the field test, the following results were obtained. The sound insertion loss was about 6.5dB(A), even though part of the sound encloser for the breaker was left unclosed. This is equal to the reduction value which can be obtained by using more expensive low noise breakers, proving that there are more effective measures for sound insulation at lower cost. The characteristic of frequency was evaluated to show an even reduction through all frequency bands, except 630Hz.
