RAILWAY NOISE AND VIBRATION ANNOYANCE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The 1975/76 I. S. V. R. national study of railway noise in Great Britain combined a noise measurement program and a social survey of the reactions to railway noise of residents within an estimated 65 dB(A) (peak) railway noise contour. A complex probability sample of 2010 addresses grouped in sets of 5 adjacent addresses within 403 compact segments in 75 areas each approximately one mile long was utilized in the study. Each of the 403 clusters of dwelling units became a physical noise measurement site. The results indicate that through train noise, maintenance noise and vibration are the most widely noticed problems associated with railways in residential areas.
