Sound Level: Noise known as amajor health hazardisspot specific in case of underground miningwhere the operators are exposed to continuous background noise while high level short duration noise peaks are common in case of surface mining. The human ear is most sensitive in 2 to 5 KHz range and less sensitive in high and low frequencies.

Mine surfaces tend to pose less of a direct risk to workers.

If there is a regular noise level of 90 dB, for example, a healthy worker in the area can rotate into an area with a 50-dB noise level without a substantial increase in risk of hearing loss.
