Beside dust, noise is another major environmental issue in the mining industry. Drill rigs, shovels, trucks, bulldozers, crushers, mills, screens, and other equipment used in mining operations and a mineral processing plant are inherently noisy, and noise as a hazard in the working environment is widely recognized [17,18]. Health risk is higher in working environments where noise exceeds the allowable level. In situations where mining facilities are in proximity of residential areas, as is the case in the Serbian mining experience, the exposed population becomes larger, and hazard is not always limited to on-site employees. The issue of occupational noise becomes the problem of environmental noise, with all its consequences.
