Zusammenfassung:The objective of the present work was to determinate the map the spatial distribution of noise levels inside two commercial poultry housing having different adiabatic evaporative cooling systems, during the life cycle of birds. The noise level was assessed by a digital sound level meter. The data were measured manually at each point in six predetermined sections, totaling 36 points. Spatial distribution maps of noise were generated for the inside of each animal facility, using geostatistics technique through semivariogram analysis and interpolation by ordinary kriging. It concludes that the birds were, in general, subjected to noise levels above 62.0 dBA and during clean and disinfect (decontamination period) the sheds were at approximately 35.0 dBA. The spatial profile of the noise level to the productive environment provide for the attainment of more detailed information about the studied system.
