ON THE GENERATION AND REDUCTION OF AUTOMOTIVE AND RAIL VEHICLE NOISE. ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE OF THE 70'S

To reduce noise generated by surface vehicles, information concerning the contribution from vehicle components to the noise level emitted by the entire vehicle is required. On the basis of this information, and an understanding of the mechanism of noise generation, the most serious sources of noise can be quieter. Some mechanisms by which noise is generated are discussed as well as steps that may be taken to reduce the noise, and research needed to further understanding of noise source mechanisms. (Author)
