The noise levels of earthmoving equipment, in the operator's cab and outside the machine, are discussed. Ways and means of lowering the dB ratings for increased operator and by-stander comfort are taken into account. Suggestions are made for ways of mounting the cab itself and lessening vibratory reactions from the engine, including rubber engine and cab mounts, plus acoustical material for reducing inside the cab noise.
