Abstract
The paper reports on the measurement procedure and results of measurements of the airborne noise emitted by the ECOTRAC V-1033 F forest tractor. The measurements were carried out in accordance with the International Standards ISO 4872 and 362 for the stationary test condition. The paper further reports on noise measurements at the tractor operator's position conducted in accordance with the International Standards ISO 5131 and 6394. All measurements were performed using the Brüler & Kjaer 4165 type microphone and the 2209 type sound level meter from the same manufacturer. According to ISO 4872, 6393 and 362 the noise level did not exceed the limit values. However, the noise level at the operator's position at full load and at nominal load exceeded the limits. Measures to be undertaken should aim at protecting the driver and improving the cab characteristics.
