Exposure to noise constitutes a health risk. The present paper is related to activities performed to test emerging technologies aimed to characterise noise sources. In particular, acoustic acquisitions have been achieved on a complex laboratory equipment composed by different machines including a rotor serving as blower. Advanced noise measurement techniques based on acoustic holography and beamforming have been employed to realise a deep characterisation of the noise sources. This analysis could fix, in effective way, the possible mitigation strategies and, if extended to the other noise sources, a comprehensive management of the workplace noise exposure.
