This study investigates the shipboard personnel noise exposure problem by analyzing the available noise level data on two surface ship classes currently operational in the fleet. These are the FF 1052 (KNOX) class and the DD 963 (SPRUANCE) class. The final objective of the study is a first order estimate of the costs of engineering noise controls necessary to comply with current/proposed personnel noise exposure standards. The standards evaluated are the Navy Compartment Category D, BUMED Instruction 6260.6B, the present OSHA noise standard and the proposed OSHA noise standard. Although the present evaluation is restricted to engineering spaces (i.e., engine rooms, fire rooms, auxiliary rooms, etc.), the model for personnel noise exposure evaluation and noise control assessment developed in this study is meant to be general and is applicable to other spaces aboard these ships and to other classes in the fleet.
