Understanding the need for noise control in sawing operations is intuitive in people who have heard the characteristic high pitched scream at the lumber yard, in their own workshop, or at a construction site. Saw noise is a distinctive sound that we remember even from long ago boyhood days. So it was no surprise when, in the USA, the Occupational Health and Safety Act included sawing noise among industrial noises that had to be controlled. This paper describes and discusses our experiments and results. Noise emanating from a cut was accumulated then reduced to an average.
