The propagation of railway noise in residential areas for two commonly occurring situations was investigated: shielding by typical two-storey terraced houses parallel to the railway line, and propagation of railway noise between two rows of two-storey terraced houses perpendicular to the railway line. The investigations were made through a series of field measurements in residential areas. Conclusions have been drawn from the analyses of the recordings; analyses being for spectral and peak dB(A). Investigation was also made into the transmission loss of railway noise through a window. Transmission losses of approximately 29 dB(A) and 11 dB(A) were obtained for a closed window and an open window respectively. (Author)
