European cooperative on railway noise
Noise Control Engineering Journal, 2001Discussions are underway in Europe between railways and the various directorates of the European Commission with the objective of implementing European Union policy to transfer traffic from road to rail without having a detrimental effect on the noise environment next to railways.

Railway tunnel portal noise is a concern in environmental impact assessment for railway projects. Railway noise is amplified inside the tunnel due to multiple reflections of highly sound reflective tunnel walls and such noise is then radiated from the tunnel portal.

Noise and the docklands light railway
Applied Acoustics, 1989Abstract Railway noise has long been regarded as one of the least offensive forms of transportation noise, with relatively few complaints arising from normal operations. However, certain components of the noise from new inner-city light railway systems are generating a substantial hostile community reaction.

Abatement of Railway Noise in Germany
2018One of the most important environmental issues in densely populated areas is the problem of noise. Road traffic and railway noise and airports located in close proximity to the city is not only annoying for residents; it also leads to serious health issues and has an enormous negative economic impact.

Railway noise propagation models
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1990Abstract In this paper is presented a model to calculate the sound event level and thereby the energy equivalent level for short-distance railway noise propagation in a town. A model of the ground effects on the propagation from line sources, regarded as an incoherent superposition of point sources, is presented and discussed for spherical and ...

Measures to abate railway noise
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference ProceedingsAn important environmental issue in densely populated areas, such as Germany or France, is the problem of noise. Traffic noise from cars, railway vehicles and airports located in close proximity to the city is not only annoying for residents; it also leads to serious health issues and has an enormous negative economic impact. Unlike road traffic noise,

Applied Acoustics, 1998
Abstract Noise is assessed by the time-average sound level, LAT(x,D). The process of noise generation on a bridge and on an embankment is characterized by two parameters, λ and μ , which can be estimated from simultaneous measurements, LAT(x1,D) and LAT(x2,D).

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 1999
Although it has long been recognized that when a train passes over a bridge there is frequently an increase in noise levels, accurate prediction of this phenomenon is often neglected. Using a modified version of AEA Technology Rail's ‘re-radiated noise’ model and data on existing bridges, this paper shows how the noise from a bridge can be predicted ...
