NOISENESS OF HIGH SPEED TRAINS

The noise signatures of three types of French trains (Aerotrain I 80, fast train (Rhodanien) and turbotrain) were presented in the laboratory to 24 persons who gave annoyance scores to each of them. The aim of this study was to compare the resulting comfort indices with some acoustic characteristics. The peak-level showed the best correlation and discomfort.
