This handbook is a guide to the prediction and control of all types of urban rail transit noise, ranging from train noise heard by the community at large to noise in maintenance shops heard only by transit employees. The topics covered include: acceptability criteria for transit related noise and vibration; the general characteristics of urban rail noise and vibration; techniques and equipment for measurement of noise and vibration; techniques and equipment for measurement of noise and vibration; control of transit vehicle noise and vibration; control of community noise from surface tracks and aerial structures; prediction and control of groundborne noise and vibration; control of noise in transit stations; control of noise from station ancillary equipment such as air-conditioning systems and fan and vent shafts; control of noise around yards and shops; control of wheel squeal noise; and control of pressure transients in subway tunnels.
