In this study, results of noise level measurements performed in 4 different mining sites aregiven. Noise level measurements performed in opencast mining site of Konya Ilgin Lignite Corporation (ILC), in Konya Eyak Mining quarry site and in Aydin Cine Feldspar ore dressing facility have been evaluatedtogether with worker surveys. The noise level measurements performed in Manisa Soma Uyar Mining coalpreparation facility have been evaluated in terms of machine-work performance. Thence, it has been pointedout that the increase in noise was due to machine faults. When the measurement results were considered, it is mandatory for the workers to use protective equipment. Workers working under high noise level would beaffected physically, physiologically and psychologically. To prevent these harms, they should be encouragedto use earmuffs and plugs.
