UNDERSTANDING MINING NOISE
The available approaches to managing mining noise have advanced significantly in recent decades, yet in some cases miners and communities are still at odds. Understanding the science behind mining noise is the first step in bridging the gap.
UMN has been formed to showcase the science behind effective sound management and build a platform for change. Our mission is to help miners and communities understand the technology and solutions available today and into the future.
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF NOT MANAGING SOUND?
Unmanaged mining noise disrupts nearby communities, causing sleep disturbance, stress, and reduced quality of life. Find out more about what happens when sound is left unchecked.
How DOES SOUND ACTUALLY WORK?
We’ve developed a repository of information to help miners and communities understand the science behind sound. Learn about the principles of sound and how varying conditions can impact noise and noise management in industrial settings.
“MINING NOISE LEVELS CAN ACTUALLY BE significantly REDUCED,
LIMITING HARMFUL IMPACTS ON the nearby community ALL WHILE MEETING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.”
