railway noise control

Railway noise control involves implementing measures to reduce the sound generated by trains and rail infrastructure, minimizing disturbance to nearby communities. Techniques include using quieter track materials, installing noise barriers or shields, and maintaining rails and wheels to reduce vibration and squeal. Operational strategies like limiting speed in sensitive areas and scheduling noisy activities during daytime also help. Additionally, designing locomotive and track systems to minimize noise emissions and using sound-absorbing technologies contribute to effective noise management. Overall, these approaches aim to balance efficient rail transportation with community well-being by reducing unwanted sound disturbances.
