Abstract


Industrial plants can noticeably affect environmental noise pollution. In addition to the noise generated by industrial processes, vehicles used for transporting raw materials and finished products represent a significant noise source. As production capacity increases, particularly in the case of modern factories that evolved from traditional family manufactories, the problem becomes more pronounced within the existing infrastructure. This paper specifically analyzes environmental noise in the immediate vicinity of a brewery, located in the central part of one city in Serbia. Through analysis of noise monitoring results, certain machines and processes within the brewery that significantly impact environmental noise indicator values were identified. Accordingly, recommendations were provided for implementing appropriate measures within the brewery aimed at enhancing acoustic comfort in the surrounding environment near the brewery. Environmental noise measurements were repeated after the acoustic treatment of the dominant noise source in the brewery, after which the effect of the measures taken in terms of reducing the noise levels in the immediate vicinity of the source was examined.
