MEASUREMENT OF SOUND PROPAGATION IN BODIES AND THE AIR ON UNDERGROUND RAILWAY LINES

KORPERSCHALL UND LUFTSCHALLMESSUNGEN AN UNTERIRDISCHEN SCHIENENBAHNEN

The results obtained from these tests to measure sound propagation in bodies, carried out with various types of track construction, show that sound propagation in bodies is reduced in neighbouring buildings as well as by special track constructions, and building methods used for tunnel construction. Details are given about the various factors affecting the extent of propagation, in the air, of sounds coming from vehicles passing through tunnels. To reduce traffic noise in stations, it is recommended that they be equipped with special noise absorbing material.
