NOISE FROM SUPER-HIGH-SPEED RAIL VEHICLES

The characteristics of noise external to the super-high-speed rail vehicles of various types are estimated. For the existing-type vehicles, the data on the NTL indicate that the noise power increases as the square to cube of the speed, and the noise level at 350 km/h can be estimated to 5 equivalent to 7.5 dB higher than the level at 200 km/h. For the new-type (non-adhesive) vehicles, noises from lifting fan and due to air turbulence may become the problem.
