Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), technical report 2: measurement of response [PDF]
, 2011 Based on a review of the literature and the best practice guidance available, a social survey questionnaire was developed to measure residents’ self-reported annoyance and to provide data suitable for establishing exposure-response relationships between ...

Nocturnal air, road, and rail traffic noise and daytime cognitive performance and annoyance [PDF]
, 2014 Various studies indicate that at the same noise level and during the daytime, annoyance increases in the order of rail, road, and aircraft noise. The present study investigates if the same ranking can be found for annoyance to nocturnal exposure and ...

Research of noise emission sources in railway transport and effective ways of their reduction
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 In the EU conditions attention is systematically paid to noise reduction on the railways. Because TSI rules systematically tighten limits for noise emissions from railway vehicles, noise research must be addressed by all Member States, as the main ...

The effects of railway noise on sleep medication intake: Results from the ALPNAP-study
Noise and Health, 2010 In the 1980s/90s, a number of socio-acoustic surveys and laboratory studies on railway noise effects have observed less reported disturbance/interference with sleep at the same exposure level compared with other modes of transportation.

Determination of traffic noise nuisance as a function of traffic type and density in a heavily populated area [PDF]
On the basis of a study including noise level measurements during the day and night and 1125 interviews with residents, it was found that railway noise creates less of a disturbance than street traffic noise.

Charging the polluters: A pricing model for road and railway noise [PDF]
This study outlines a method to estimate the short run marginal cost (SRMC) for road and railway noise. It is based on standardized calculation methods for total noise levels and monetary cost estimates from well established evaluation methods.

Insertion Loss Value Dependency of the Low Height Noise Barriers Distance From Railway Track
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge EngineeringRailway noise can negatively affect both people’s health and the value of their real estate. Various noise mitigation measures can be used on the railways. One of them is a noise barrier.

ROLLING NOISE SIMULATION OF A RAILWAY VEHICLE [PDF]
, 2013 Rolling noise of the railway vehicles is occurred by the wheel/rail vibration excited bythe rolling surfaces roughness. This paper presents an acoustic model able to predict the rollingnoise level of a railway vehicle.

Ground effects on railway bridge noise.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of Japan (E), 1999 To predict noise within 100 meters from a bridge and within a few meters above the ground, measurements of the sound exposure level, LAE, at four positions are required. The process of noise generation is modeled by a homogeneous line of point sources with dipole directivity.
