The report describes the noise climate on and near the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, (SEPTA), Broad Street Subway and Market-Frankford Elevated Line. The two SEPTA urban rail transit lines have approximately 22.6 miles of two-way revenue track (of which 13.1 miles are in subway), and 53 stations. Noise level data are given for specific measurements made in cars, in stations and along the non-subway wayside at appropriate locations. The rationale for choice of measurement sites and the methodology for arriving at the summary noise distributions from the data are discussed explicitly. Measurement and analysis instrumentation and procedures are also described.
