Railways are an environmentally friendly means of transport well suited to modern society. However, noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development of the railway networks for high-speed intercity traffic, for freight and for suburban metros and light-rail. All too often noise problems are dealt with inefficiently due to lack of understanding of the problem. This book brings together coverage of the theory of railway noise and vibration with practical applications of noise control technology at source to solve noise and vibration problems from railway. Each source of noise and vibration is described in a symmetric way: rolling noise, curve squeal, aerodynamic noise, ground vibration and ground-borne noise, and vehicle interior noise.
