Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate noise characteristics of an electric power driven hammer. These investigation and analysis were made according to the ISO 1680/1 and MIL-STD 7410-1 and lead-wrapping experiment method that was used to identify the principal noise sources and analyze its noise. Hammer generates loud noise and it irritates and affects many people. Repeated exposures to loud noise can lead people to permanent hearing loss. Based on the contribution analysis, we confirm that the striker part is a major noise source and it has directional noise radiation pattern, which is left and right.
