PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON RAILWAY AND TRACKED TRANSIT SYSTEM NOISE, 2ND, 1978

Twenty papers by various authors deal with railway and tracked transit system noise. Major topics covered are: sources and mechanisms of noise generation -- its control and parameters influencing the noise; other sources, including maintenance noise, freight yards, locomotive noise, station noise; sources and propagation of vibration; propagation of railway noise -- barriers and effects of topography; vehicle interior noise -- sources and comfort; and, community response to noise -- criteria effect on sleep. All papers are abstracted.
