      <title>RAILWAY NOISE. REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY THE WORK OF TRACK MAINTENANCE MACHINES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15568</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report describes possible noise abatement measures to be applied to various types of track maintenance machines, thus reducing the effect on the environment and operators. Technical solutions and their effectiveness are described starting from the noise levels of machines without any noise reduction and an analysis of noise generation and propagation.  The level reductions obtained by measures applied to the machines themselves and, possibly, ear guards for the operators ensure satisfactory conditions.]]></description>

      <title>THE SOUND ENVIRONMENT IN LOCOMOTIVE CABS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2139</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Measurements of the sound environment in locomotive cabs including audible warnings perceived by crew members are described.  Data was collected during two different test runs under diverse conditions, one on the Long Island R.R. and the other on the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway.  The crew's working environment was found to approach the exposure limits set in the Walsh-Healey Public Contract Service Act.  Tape recordings from each run indicate the following elements as significant: engine noise, horn sounds and air brake application noise.  Data indicate sound level readings taken under various operating conditions in the cab.  The study does not include a definition of legal exposure from observed data.  The study suggests that because measurements of noise level in a typical locomotive cab approach the limits allowed in the Walsh-Healy Act, a more detailed survey would be desirable to determine whether exposure do exceed legal limits, and if so under what conditions.  Forms of frequency analysis used in the study are also explained.  (Author)]]></description>
