      <title>AND NOW A WORD FROM THE REGULATEE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/133595</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Regulation of noise from motor vehicles is an inevitability. To provide optimum benefit to the community at a minimum of additional cost to its citizens, these regulations must recognize the responsibilities of all parties involved, provide uniform requirements as appropriate to the level of government, and embody a flexibility to adapt to new findings and circumstances.  Both manufacturer and operator, as regulatees, must be considered in the drafting of vehicle noise restrictions.]]></description>

      <title>CALIFORNIA LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE NOISE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/138455</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Reasonable and effective laws for the enforcement of motor vehicle noise have been enacted and successfully applied in California.  Specific laws to prohibit both sale and operation of noisy vehicles were necessary. Measurements by both instruments and human ear judgments are practical and necessary at this time.  Noise limits should be gradually reduced commensurate with the needs of the public and the capability of the technology. Future controls on noise producing components, in addition to the complete vehicle, appear to be necessary to obtain desirable minimum levels.  California has pioneered interim solutions to portions of this environmental problem and has developed the expertise along with the practical experience to achieve further advancements in solving the problems.]]></description>

      <title>THE MANY-WHEELED NOISE MONSTERS MUST BE TAMED</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/138456</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Trucks are the major source of noise on our streets and highways, affecting the sleep and sanity of millions of city and suburban residents.  Truck noise sources are many, but mainly are engine and tires.  Since the automotive and trucking industries have not volunteered to quiet truck noises, the Federal government will have to legally require them to do so.]]></description>

      <title>TRUCK NOISE PROBLEM, AND WHAT MIGHT BE DONE ABOUT IT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/138457</link>
      <description><![CDATA[From various sources of information it is clear that truck noise is a definite public nuisance.  Early noise control efforts were very productive in that many heavy duty trucks did not have mufflers, and the addition of this device made clear improvements.  Further improvement requires treatment of many sources significant to the overall level.  It is felt that today's "tight but attainable" 88 dBA for heavy trucks can reduce to 86 dBA by 1975 and 84 dBA by 1978 with a lot of hard work. There is promise for meaningful noise regulation in the "real world" as indicated by "calibratability" of non-standard sites.]]></description>

      <title>CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE EFFECTS IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING BY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/138458</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The increasing public concern in recent years over the problem of environmental noise has resulted in the enhancement of technology-based regulatory agencies and statutory measures to control technological applications. Most of the earlier controls, however, were reactive measures rather than positive efforts to assure development of a new technology in the public interest.  This situation is beginning to change as new environmental codes are being implemented in various states and cities.  This paper describes how the noise factor has influenced the planning of transportation systems by various legislative and regulatory entities at the federal, regional, state, and local levels.]]></description>

      <title>ORIGINS OF DIESEL TRUCK NOISE AND ITS CONTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/138459</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper discusses the fundamental origins of truck noise and shows the rate at which the noise of each individual source increases with speed.  Various means of controlling noise from each component are considered. A method of predicting engine noise, and hence vehicle noise, from basic engine speed and piston diameter data is given and the significance of this information to the engine designer is emphasized.]]></description>

      <title>RAIL MASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLANNING AND NOISE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/6436</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The noise produced by new high-speed rail rapid transit system operations is much less than traditionally expected due to modern design concepts and equipment which include specific features for reducing noise and vibration.  Using data obtained from various operational and experimental rail transit vehicles and systems, the noise characteristics to be expected from new and proposed systems and equipment have been determined. The known and specified noise characteristics can be used during the planning of transit systems to determine the expected wayside or community noise levels for various types of way structures, vehicles, and operational conditions, and can also be used to determine design features or system characteristics which should be included for the control of noise.  This permits the inclusion of noise as one of the factors affecting system planning and design.]]></description>

      <title>REGULATORY APPROACHES TO CONTROLLING RAIL RAPID TRANSIT NOISE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/6437</link>
      <description><![CDATA[America's need for mass transportation systems to meet the challenge of maintaining urban mobility in the 1970's coincides with a growing public awareness and concern for environmental problems including noise pollution. In rail rapid transit, significant technological advances have already been made and used in modern systems on a voluntary basis to alleviate the effects of operational noise and vibration on both passenger and community.  Since quiet costs money, experience has  generally proven that enforced legislation is necessary to obtain quieter products from industry.  However, the rail rapid transit systems of this country are essential public services which will play an increasingly vital role in urban transportation.  Therefore the establishment of practical noise control guidelines for new systems through the cooperative effort of both government and industry and the initiation of a comprehensive early action program of research, demonstration and subsequent improvement of existing systems are put forward as viable alternatives to the establishment of mandatory noise controls for the entire rail rapid transit industry.]]></description>
