The problem of noise pollution is evaluated in Assuit Cement Company (CEMEX). The study is conducted in the limestone quarry and cement plant. Noise levels is predicted using the prediction model. Also, noise levels were calculated based on the machine data. Measurements were carried out using Bruel & Kjaer, sound level meter Type 2230 at different distances from the noise sources. The study proved that, (a) the highest noise levels in Assiut Limestone Quarry is generated from Hydraulic Hammer (102.22 dBA) and crushing operations (100.1 dBA) these levels are greater than the standard values; and the lowest noise levels are the Belt drive (63.71 dBA) and the Belt conveyor (61.40 dBA), (b) the workers’ camp in Assiut Limestone Quarry is subjected to a noise level of (63.71 dBA) which is greater than the acceptable levels, (c) the management building in the quarry is subjected to a noise level of (69.17 dBA) higher than the acceptable limit. (d) the safe distance from the quarry found to be 1250 m. (e) the management buildings in the plant are protected from high levels. (f) the predicted noise levels can be used to evaluate the noise problem in the planning stage of new projects, in order to keep the working and ambient environment safe.
