The noise in the workplace, in all kinds of productive activities, represents a menace and it true has not been truly assessed in its real dimension. Little has been seen from the people concerned in this matter to give the urgency to manage noise control programs. Therefore, disposals resulting from medical treatments and absenteeism, represented in health care and social services, result in labor-related hidden costs that directly affect the gross domestic product in any country. Method: This article compiles different studies worldwide. The studies were divided for revision into general studies about the effects of labor noise and then, particularized according to the effects of industrial noise on workers' health. At a control level, the evaluation and measurement of noise is defined by using tools such as noise maps and their respective derivations in addition to spatial databases. Conclusions: The data provided by the case studies points to the need in Colombia, a country that is no stranger to this phenomenon, and additionally has the great disadvantage of not having significant studies in the field of noise analysis. It strengthens studies based on spatial data and measurement and control mechanism.
