TLDR
In this article, the results of the noise emitted by machines are analyzed to predict an overall noise climate, and the results show that the noise levels in coal washeries, coal preparation plants, open cast and underground mining centres are very high when compared to accepted limits for occupational noise exposure.About:

TL;DR: The need to preserve natural quietness, as a resourceful land protection strategy, has increased with the need to implement the EU's Environmental Noise Directive (END, 2002/49/EC) at a national level as mentioned in this paper.

An environmental index of noise and light pollution at EU by spatial correlation of quiet and unlit areas.
TL;DR: This diurnal and nocturnal metric of environmental quality accompanied with all direct and indirect benefits to human well-being could indicate a target for environmental protection in the EU policy and practices.

Noise Impact Assessment and Prediction in MinesUsing Soft Computing Techniques
TL;DR: Soft-computing system based noise prediction models were developed for predicting far far noise levels due to operation of specific set of mining machinery and it was observed that proposed soft-com computing models give good prediction results with accuracy.

The distribution and importance of Quiet Areas in the EU
TL;DR: In this article, a coarse scale distance-based methodology was used to identify and thus protect Quiet Areas (QAs) of EU countries, environmental and altitudinal zones with a view to investigating the spatial pattern of QAs as well as their spatial relation to other protected areas.

Environmental capability: a Bradley–Terry model-based approach to examine the driving factors for sustainable coal-mining environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for ranking the parameters and subsequently computing their sustainable environmental capability using Bradley-Terry model, which can be used as a tool for environmental impact assessment of coal mining industry and other industries as well.

Hearing loss due to continuous exposure to steady-state broad-band noise.
TL;DR: The limit of permissible noise exposure, defined as the maximal level which did not cause measurable noise‐induced shift in hearing levels of workers exposed to it irrespective of exposure years, was shown to be NR 75 or 80 dBA and an acknowledgment is made of the need for hearing‐conservation measures given exposure conditions which exceed 80 d BA.

Noise -- How Much is Too Much?
TL;DR: Gierke as mentioned in this paper has argued that enough is known about the effects of noise on people to produce lines of noise to produce the lines of speech or other activities indoors or outdoor.

Noise from opencast coal mining sites
TL;DR: In this paper, the principal sources of noise in opencast coal mining operations are described, and the problems associated with the setting up of a scheme for the control of noise from opencast sites which are discussed are found to apply to other sources of environmental noise.
