This paper presents an experimental and statistical study on noise level generated during of rock sawing by circular diamond sawblades. Influences of the operating variables on the noise level were investigated. Statistical analyses were then employed and models were built for the prediction of noise levels depending on the operating variables. The derived models are validated through some statistical tests. It was determined that increasing of peripheral speed, traverse speed and cutting depth result in an increase in noise levels. On the other hand; a decreasing trend for noise levels is initially observed with the increasing of flow rate of cooling fluid. It was concluded that the peripheral and traverse speed are the significant operating variables affecting the noise level.
