Abstract :Noise is an unavoidable problem in weaving workplaces. This problem has started to gain more importance with the speed increases in weaving machines. Working in noisy environments has become one of the most important elements in terms of public health with new regulations. Working at high noise levels prepares the ground for many health problems, especially hearing loss. In the study, the effect of technology differences in weaving machines and machine layout on noise level was investigated. It was seen that the placement of machinery along with machine technology had a great impact on noise level.
