Diseño de paneles absorbentes de ruido utilizando material reciclable para implementarse en un taller industrial metalmecánico

Abstract

Environmental complications in industrial areas are intensified by constant exposure to high noise levels generated by machinery and activities typical of these environments. This study evaluates and mitigates noise pollution in a metal-mechanical workshop, a problem that impacts the health of workers and the quality of life of nearby communities. Sound pressure levels were measured at different points in the workshop with an accurate sound level meter (Elicrom 308) in two phases: before and after installing acoustic panels made of recyclable materials with high sound absorption. After installation, a significant noise reduction was observed, especially in internal areas, with an average decrease of 20%. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the measures implemented, improving the work environment and reducing the acoustic impact on neighboring communities. This study highlights the importance of applying sustainable solutions to mitigate industrial noise, promoting a healthier and more environmentally responsible environment.
