Noise and vibration control has been a primary consideration in the design of the Metro system. Consultants were engaged to provide basic acoustical designs and guidelines to assure patrons of quiet and comfortable environment on and off cars. Minimal impact of system construction on the community is planned. Operation through continuous maintenance program and good acoustical design is planned. WMATA's noise and vibration control objectives are to minimize transmission of noise and vibration to adjacent buildings and structures, and to maintain noise levels in transit vehicles and stations within acceptable limits. Notable acoustical improvements have been made since the building of early transit systems and these are listed.
