Abstract

This scoping review aimed to determine the dosage of noise exposure among motorcycle riders and the sources contributing to a rider’s noise exposure. A systematic search of several scientific databases was conducted from 1981 until 2021. Eligible articles were included into the defined criteria. The dosage of noise exposure, sources, and standardization method were extracted. A total of 37 studies were included. There was scarce publication regarding the exact level of noise exposure experienced by the riders. There was, however, abundant evidence on indirect sources of noise exposure for riders, which requires further critical analysis. The dosage of noise exposure among riders was significantly higher than the recommended level. Seven sources were determined to generate noise which could potentially affect the riders, presented in this paper along with their respective evidence.
