This paper deals with the noise source localization of the Korean High Speed Train (KTX) at the speed of 300 km/h. Using Microfonarray system and beamforming technology typical pass-by noise sources and their frequency characteristics are investigated. It is primarily aimed at investigating the location and characteristics of the high speed train emission. The results from the microphone array tests are also analyzed in relation to the remarks from analytic studies and experimental investigations on the high speed train that have been done with the intention of understanding the interior noise mechanism. The acoustical image shows the low frequency noise sources mainly at the position of the under part of the train at high speeds and the related source mechanism are discussed.
