Rail noise mitigation

Rail noise mitigation refers to strategies and technologies used to reduce the noise produced by trains as they travel along tracks. This can include physical barriers like sound walls, improved track design, and better train technology, such as quieter engines and wheels. These measures aim to minimize the impact of noise on nearby communities, enhancing quality of life and reducing stress for residents. Effective rail noise mitigation balances the need for efficient rail transport with the desire for a quieter environment.
