EVALUTION OF TRACTOR NOISE WITH FARM EQUIPEMENTS UNDER VARIOUS ENVINORNMENTAL CONDITION

Abstract The growing mechanization of agriculture has brought about numerous benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity. However, one often overlooked consequence of this technological advancement is the increase in noise pollution caused by farm machinery, particularly tractors. This research presents a comprehensive evaluation of noise levels produced by tractors when used in conjunction with various farm equipment, under different environmental conditions. The primary objective of the study is to analyze how specific environmental factors such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and terrain characteristics influence the intensity and frequency distribution of tractor-generated noise during field operations.
Field experiments were conducted using a standardized sound level meter positioned at operator-ear level, capturing both instantaneous and average sound pressure levels during tractor operations. The tractors were tested with multiple implements, including rotavators, cultivators, ploughs, and seed drills, under varying loads and soil types. Each trial was conducted under distinct environmental conditions, including dry, wet, and humid atmospheres, across both flat and uneven terrains. The results revealed significant variation in noise levels depending on the implement type and environmental setting. It was observed that heavier implements and operations on rough terrain produced higher noise emissions, especially under hot and dry weather conditions. Conversely, noise levels were slightly lower during operations in moist and cooler environments.
The findings emphasize the importance of integrating environmental considerations into the assessment of tractor noise emissions. The study also highlights the need for the development of noise control strategies in agricultural machinery design and the promotion of safe work practices to minimize auditory health risks for machine operators and nearby workers. This research contributes valuable insights into sustainable and ergonomically conscious farming practices in the context of environmental acoustics.
