    Mechanical equipment is the most popular kind of farm power sources being used in current times in the field of agriculture. Majority of the farm operations connected with crop production processes are successfully adapted to mechanization. Tractor has remained at centre as a source of farm power and has played a vital role in agricultural mechanization. All mechanical equipments produce noise and vibrations of different intensities. Excessive vibrations and noises have been considered as damaging factors to both men and machines. Noisy environment has been one of those threats which have emerged out of modern life styles in urban and rural areas both. Tractors dominate rural areas most. While cultivating a field, tractors operate for long hours and generate high level of noises that make an imact on the operators and the neighbourhood. It has now been established that exceeded noise levels cause negative impacts resulting into the mental tiredness and lesser working efficiency. Noise exceeding the certain limits can even cause permanent damage to hearing ability of human beings.
