Abstract Reduction of aerodynamic noise emitted from a pantograph head and its support is one of the important subjects for the speed-up of high-speed trains from an environmental point of view. In this study, to reduce aerodynamic noise emitted from the pantograph head and its support, suitable arrangement of a pantograph head which has a smooth cross section profile, was investigated. The flow field measurement in the wake domain of the pantograph shows that turbulent intensity can be reduced by setting the pantograph head at a suitable position. The reduction of turbulence in the wake domain is caused by appropriate aerodynamic interference between the pantograph head and its support. Furthermore, the results of the aerodynamic noise measurement show that the suitable pantograph head arrangement efficiently reduces aerodynamic noise.
