In support of the 
Army Hearing Program, noise assessment surveys are conducted upon request.
The surveys evaluate the magnitude of potential occupational noise exposures to military and civilian personnel in order to quantify the exposures and select effective protective measures. Industrial hygienists will conduct a preliminary evaluation to identify the noise sources and groups of exposed employees.
A Type 2 sound level meter will be used for this preliminary evaluation.
Noise control engineers will use a Type 1 sound level meter with an octave band analyzer to evaluate the frequency of the noise, which provides useful information about noise sources.
Then a sampling strategy will be developed to gather the exposure data for employees most exposed to the noise hazard.
Dosimeter sampling will be conducted to quantify the noise exposures for exposed personnel over an entire work shift, providing a time-weighted average noise exposure.
This data will be used to determine if the employees should be included in a hearing conservation program.
The data will also be used to select effective engineering controls (noise barriers) and administrative controls (work rotations), and personal protective equipment (ear muffs and/or ear plugs).
Regulations

DA Pam 40-501, "Hearing Conservation Program”
The link below provides the OSHA standard for occupational noise.
The standard is applicable for the civilian work force.
The DoD and DA exposure limits for noise are more stringent and should be followed for DA personnel.

The link below is for a NIOSH noise exposure report.
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting a cross-sectional survey of equipment sound levels and worker noise exposures in the stone/aggregate mining industry.
Six stone/aggregate mines (three surface and three underground) were recently surveyed, and the findings are presented here.
The surveys consisted of sound-level measurements conducted around various equipment and machinery (including stone processing and crushing equipment) and full-shift dose measurements to determine worker noise exposures.
The findings identify the equipment and machinery that are likely to cause worker overexposures and identify the workers found to the experiencing overexposures.
It can be useful for an industrial hygienist to see the different techniques used in developing sampling plans, such as the use of sound profile plots.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. International Standards give state of the art specifications for products, services and good practice, helping to make industry more efficient and effective.
Developed through global consensus, they help to break down barriers to international trade.
