Abstract

An examination is made on the reduced number of passengers riding the NYCT subway and its effect on the average reverberation time within the subway stations. Excessive reverberation times can have the effect of compounding the noise from train operation, including breaking and other noises. Approximations are made of the reverberation time at selected subway platforms and how those have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximations are made of the potential hearing impacts on the remaining subway commuters and staff.
