Abstract
Elevator noise in apartments can make annoying sounds depending on locations of elevators and the sensitivity of the residents. Some nations have their own criteria regarding noise from elevators, however, South Korea has no such criteria, which makes it difficult to handle the damage due to noise from elevators. Thus, the present study investigated noise criteria in elevators in other nations and identified the noise characteristics during elevator operation to provide foundational data at the time of setup on noise criteria forelevators. The noise criteria in other nations recommend the maximum noise level to be below NC-20–30 and 25–30 dB(A). The noise measurement in elevators showed that the maximum noise level at the adjacent room was NC-29, 31.4 dB(A) in A Apartment, and NC-26~29, 30.8–32.7 dB(A) in B Apartment.
