For a rail traffic noise, a typical source has a length of 200m - 400m so that the noise pollution areas have been located in the transition regions where the sound level drops between 3dB/dd and 6dB/dd. Therefore, in this region, parameters such as a horizontal distance from the track, the geometry of the ground surface, the environmental effect, and the boundary impedance condition play import roles, especially in our nation's situation. In this study, modelling techniques for the finite length of noise source have been investigated in order to evaluate the rail traffic noise level. Then. noise correction value .${\Delta}$SPL for various location in the track region is represented by the non-dimensionalized horizontal and parallel distance from the track. As an application, a high speed train is examined. Beas on the noise data measured for a Eurostar in France, the sound power value per unit length $H_1$is calcuated. It turns out that$H_1$is 109 dB. Overall sound power from the highspeed train to be serviced in our country is expected to 135 dBA.

Aerodynamically generated noise is dominant when the train speed approaches 300km/h. This noise sources is caused by the turbulent flow separations or vortex shedding from the train structure. Experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics of aerodynamic noise sources generated from exterior of the KTX trains and HSR-350x, especially from the inter-coach spacing. Measurements of both the inside and outside of the cabin are carried out to investigate the characteristics of the noise. Effect of the size of the mud-flap has been investigated through an wind tunnel test and it has been found that the low frequency noise is strongly dependent on the size of the gap. Also performed is an array measurement to locate different noise sources from the high-speed train. spectral characteristics of exterior noise sources are examined.

With the increase in discomfort of living by serious traffic noise pollution, the desire of relieving from discomfort is boosted up more than ever. For this reason, the researches on environmental impact assessmient and noise pollution control are highly required. This research was aimed to analyze the physical characteristics of noise caused by high-speed train in foreign countries by literature survey and field data. And with the attained results, the exterior noise level around Chon-An station, the first station planned for the high-speed train in this country, was estimated. The results of this study might be used as a tool for predicting the unavoidable noise, lessening the noise impact caused by the high-speed train, and preparing the noise prevention measures for the interior space and the exterior around stations.

The railway system in Korea is developing more and more rapidly. After development the next generation hi-speed train(HEMU-400X), Korea can compete against developed country. But, speed increasing will cause the greater rolling and aero dynamic noise. In this study shows that measurement noise of the KTX train by 300kn/h class, and KTX-Sancheon train by 350km/h class. The measurements are carried out on open area and noise protection barrier installed area. The microphones were placed at a distance of 3m from the center line of the track at a height of 0.5m above the upper surface of the rail and at a distance of 7.5m from the center line of the track at a height of each 0.6m above(Max 3.6m) the upper surface of the rail. One microphone was placed at a distance of 25m for check the environmental noise.

We test the running performance of KHST(Korean High Speed Train) that is developed in Korea. The interior noise of high speed train is dependent on the train speed generally and is one of the most important problem recently. In this paper, we present the test results of interior noise for KTX and KHST and examine into the cause of interior noise for KTX. From the analysis results, we know that the interior noise of KHST is lower about $2{\sim}5dB(A)$ than KTX and also the noise levels of KTX at 80Hz and 250Hz in tunnel increase very highly.

High speed railroad noise is one of the main causes of environmental impact. An estimate of the relevant noise levels is usually required in order to evaluate the noise barrier and the anti-noise trailer. This paper introduce the test procedure and the estimate for HST noise. The aim of this is to measure, by means of a test, the level of acoustic pressure present during the passing of a KTX(Korea Train Express), in order to satisfy the contractual requirements and the noise criteria. A number of measurements are carried out in order to estimate noise impact by HST along test track.

Noise of the VVVF inverter and DC/DC converter, which are the most dominant noise sources of maglev train at low speed, is studied. The coils inside inverter and converter are excited by the electro-magnetic forces, which results in core vibration and generations of the noise. It is found that the spectra of the noise show many harmonics, where there exist several different fundamental frequencies. (omitted)

In order to develop a high speed train, various conditions have been considered. Internal noise level of cabins is an important one. In this study, The specification of the interior noise level for KHST(Korean High Speed Train) has been adopted the same level of KTX-spec. In this paper, the interior noise levels of KHST are measured and analysed through the speed and other conditions. According to the speed, the level of internal noise(driver's room(PC2), motorized trailer(TM1) and trailer car(TT2)) is compared. The results of measuring data show that the interior noise levels of KHST are good. And noise levels of this paper are useful in the decision of noise specification.

With the historical opening of the express rail, Korea has joined the league of France, Japan, Germany and Spain and entered into the super high-speed train era. Opening of the express rail will not only bring about enormous changes to the lives of Koreans, but it will also have a huge influence on the economic, social and cultural aspects of the country. With construction of the Seoul - Busan KTX line, railway passenger transportation capacity and freight transportation capacity will increase. Fast, safe, convenient and environmentally friendly, the express rail is a product of the latest technology and will secure its position as the newest and most preferred method of transportation for the next generation. As the traffic noise, train noise from KTX will become a social problems with the acceleration of speed and increase in the lines. In order to predict the train noise propagation from KTX, this paper presents the sound source system, the calculation model and the scale model experiment. Noise level unit patterns of a KTX that take the rolling noise, the motor noise and aerodynamic noise into consideration are simulated by the scale model experiment and numerical analysis.
