In order to improve the sound insulation performance of high-speed train floors, this study first obtained the necessary data for model training based on the reverberation test method, and then conducted data sorting and feature selection. Next, the maximum mutual information minimum redundancy (mRMR) feature selection algorithm was used to calculate the selected features and screen out a subset of significant features. Subsequently, the decision tree, BP neural network, and support vector machine regression (SVR) methods were applied in sequence, and the standardized feature data were used for the high-speed train floor under the same evaluation criteria of the mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). We conducted training and validation of the sound insulation prediction models for timber-framed support structures. The prediction accuracy of the trained model was compared and evaluated with the finite element statistical energy analysis (FE-SEA) prediction model. Finally, the SVR model was used to optimize the design under constraint conditions. The research results show that based on the research object, sample library, and model training in this article, compared with the FE-SEA model, the prediction error of the SVR model is only 0.3 dB, showing better performance. In engineering practice, the SVR model can effectively optimize the wooden support structure in the floor under certain constraints, and it predicts that the weighted sound insulation of the entire floor is 50.45 dB, which has important engineering application value.
