In the early stage of operation of KTX, passengers complained of the excessive cabin noise as the passes the tunnel. The noise is caused partly by wheel-rail contact and partly by airflow around the carbody. In this study, to reduce the cabin noise, the effect of the mud-flaps located between the cars is investigated. A series of tests was conducted to clarify the influences of the type and length of mud-flap, and train speed on the cabin noise. The optimum length of mud-flap was found. The shedding vortices around the mud-flap is thought to be the cause of the aerodynamic noise. Strouhal number and the resonant shedding frequency around the mud-flap correlated well with the cabin noise level.

Aeroacoustic sound induced from inter-couch spacing is an important contributor to interior noise generation for high speed trains. Especially the open space between mud-flap has significant impact from flow-structure interactions. To understand noise generation mechanism, experiments were performed using the wind tunnel. To find mud-flap parameters for minimal noise generations the various shape of the mud-flap was installed and its effects on the wall-pressure generation were investigated.

There has been an increasing demand for the mitigation of noise and vibration caused by KTX. One of considered noise reduction methods which is to enlarge mud-flap in gangway was selected and the replacement of all KTX mud-flaps by improved mud-flaps was completed recently. To investigate the noise characteristics of KTX with improved mud-flap, the measurement was performed. Based on the measurement results, the assessment of noise level, noise characteristics by speed and pure tone analysis for various track conditions was executed. It is shown that the use of improved mud-flap is effective to reduce the interior noise of KTX.

고속열차의 속도가 300km/h 이상이 되면 난류의 박리나 와류발산 등에 의한 공력소음의 영향이 지배적이 된다. 본 연구에서는 KTX와 한국형고속열차의 외부에서 발생하는 공력소음, 특히 차간 공간에서 발생하는 소음의 특성을 시험을 통해 규명한다. 차량 실내외의 소음 측정을 통해 이 소음의 특성을 분석하였고, 풍동시험을 통해 머드플랩 사이의 틈의 크기가 저주파 소음 발생에 직접적인 영향을 준다는 것을 규명하였다. 또한 마이크로폰어에이 시험으로 고속열차의 외부에서 발생하는 소음의 주파수 특성을 분석하였다.
