THE PREDICTION OF RAILWAY NOISE PROFILES

A method is described for predicting the rise and decay of the noise (the noise profile) of a passing train. There are two principal assumptions in developing the method: (a) the railhead and wheels are in good condition; (b) the train noise is primarily rail-wheel noise. Good agreement between the predictions of the method and measured train noise profiles has been obtained.
