METHOD FOR OPERATING A NOISE-EMITTING INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
The invention relates to a method for operating a noise-emitting installation (11), which emits noise subject to noise protection provisions into the environment at specifiable times in the form of operationally determined noise events that each extend over a certain time period, the emission of noise being distributed over the day. Reliable noise protection is achieved in that the sound pressure level is continually recorded by means of at least one sound pressure sensor (M1-M10) in the noise-emitting installation (11), in that the recorded values of the sound pressure level are used to detect when and over what time period each noise event occurs, in that the sound pressure level occurring in the particular noise event is summed or integrated over the duration of the noise event, in that the summed or integrated sound pressure levels of consecutive noise events are summed to form a noise dose, and in that the resulting noise dose is continually compared with specified dose limit values and the operation of the installation (11) is controlled in accordance with the results of the comparison.
