NOISE INSIDE STREETCARS

IL RUMORE ACUSTICO ALL'INTERNO DELLE VETTURE TRANVIARIE

The noise in three-car streetcars belonging to A.T.M. (Milan Public Transport) has been measured and its level compared with that in streetcars belonging to transit authorities in a Swiss and a German town. It was found that the maximum level of noise inside the German car was 70 dBA, and inside that A.T.M. car 84 dBA. The "nuisance" loudness of the A.T.M. vehicle was about double that of the German car.
