NOISE DEVELOPMENT IN STEEL RAILWAY BRIDGES
Measurements were made at the following characteristic points: on the bridge, 2 m laterally from center of track 2 m above rail level; 25 m laterally from bridge, 1.6 m above ground; and below the bridge, 1.6 m above ground. The frequency spectra have been recorded. A survey is given of the noise levels emitted by 16 bridges, the latter being classified according to method of track laying. A outline of future tests is given. The track will be sound proofed before the tests are run.
