GUIDELINES FOR EXTERNAL TRAIN NOISE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

RIKTVAERDEN FOER TAGBULLERIMMISSION I BOSTADOMRADEN: EN LITTEATURSTUDIE

The report compares the guidelines of different countries for external train noise in residential areas. The guidelines are expressed as A-weighted maximal sound levels, L(Amax), or A-weighted equivalent sound levels, L(Aeg), or a combination of the two. The equivalent level can be a 24-hours-value, a day-value or a night-value. Between different cpuntries the guidelines for equivalent levels varies from 45 to 65 dB (the lowest numbers 45 and 50 dB are however only valid during night time) and the guidelines for maximal levels varies between 70 and 85 dB. The report also contains a proposal to a Swedish national guideline for external train noise in residential areas.
