AB  - The article deals with the measurement of conveyor belt noise and vibration. The conveyor belt was supported on six rollers fixed on three plates of stand, return and drive drum. These six rollers were produced in two sets (convectional tube and accurate tube). Rollers were driven by a rubber belt. The noise was measured and evaluated on both sides of the conveyor. Vibration of the conveyor was measured at four locations of the conveyor construction. All measurements were performed in an unloaded condition. In conclusion of the article is a summary and evaluation of all measurements. The vibration of the conveyor is comparable in both cases, however, the rollers from accuracy tube excite the construction less, and this results in a lower total noise. By comparing the acceleration to the dominant frequency, it is obvious that the noise and the vibration of the belt conveyor construction were reduced by using rollers from accuracy tube
