METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF AIRBORNE SOUND FROM RAILBOUND VEHICLES

This standard sets out the methods for the measurement of airborne sound for the determination of the A-weighted sound pressure level and of the sound spectrum emitted by all kinds and combinations of vehicles operating on rails or other types of fixed track while in motion and while stationary. Separate sections relate to measuring equipment, quantities to be measured, acoustical environment and meteorological conditions, track conditions, operating conditions for the vehicle during the test, procedure for measurements, and test report.
