Abstract

Wheel/rail noise is one of the primary sources of noise from rail system operations—in many cases, the primary source. This paper is a review of the methods available for controlling all three types of wheel/rail noise: squeal, impact, and roar (rolling noise). The acoustical performance, non-acoustical benefits, problems, constraints, and additional research and testing requirements for each noise control treatment are presented.
