Apparatus and method for reducing work machine noise based on location

摘要

A work machine 10 includes a control unit 32 for determining the location of a work machine 10 from a location determining device 24 and reading the desired noise level for the location from a memory device 30. The control unit 32 places the work machine 10 in a normal mode of operation if the desired noise level exceeds a threshold noise level and places the work machine 10 in a reduced mode of operation if the desired noise level falls below the threshold level.
