This high exposure to the noise level to the crews also gives a noise induced hearing
loss. Accidents ship is predominantly caused by human error, and this result to the
noise that are influence crew’s performance. The main engine and machinery has also
been the main noise source that influences the indoor environment that contributes
to reducing quality of life on board. It lowers the degree of comfort in rest to the crew.
Due to that, International Maritime Organization (IMO) has compulsory the code of
noise level on board to increase the quality of life and safety work. Due to the
increasing of shipping health issue, related to noise the minimum noise level on board
RV to determine. In this study the case specific noise of RV based on real sampled of
data is investigated. The research consider noise levels on board ship under working
conditions were sampled are compared with the other industries and standard noise
acceptability level.
