The article discusses the problem of minimisation of the noise emitted by mechanical devices installed on a ship to its living and working compartments. Basic features of the abovementioned mechanical systems are defined taking into account frequencies generated by them. Passive and active methods of noise minimisation via interference into the propagation path are presented. In the conclusion, expected effects are formulated.
