ABSTRACT
The changing nature of the noise intensity in agricultural aircraft makes necessary an assessment of noise dose, where the equipment performs a number of measurements of noise level and generates a projection for daily exposure. The criteria reference that supports the daily exposure corresponds to a 100% dose for an exposure time of 8 hours at the level of 85 dB(A). Furthermore, the assessment considers doubling of the dose (q = 3), in other words 88 dB(A) or 85 dB(A) + q is equal to the 200% of the daily exposure.
