Transport by high-speed train is becoming more widespread, particularly in these climate-conscious times. How can the external noise from these moving sources be efficiently measured and assessed?
The high-speed train network is growing fast worldwide, particularly in China. Many of the lines pass close to urban areas so the external noise produced by the trains is of great interest to town planners and train manufacturers alike.
This paper presents a detailed investigation into the contributions of the various high-speed train sound sources, such as the bogie, pantograph, coach centre, etc., to the exterior noise, both experimentally and through simulations. The measurement points of pass-by noise were arranged according to the international standard ISO 3095. The noise source identification was conducted using a 78-channel wheel microphone array, and the rail vehicle moving source beamforming method was used for the source analysis. A numerical model of the exterior noise of the highspeed train was established based on the array acoustics method and the inputs come from the array measurements.

Analysis of vehicle voice recognition performance in response to background noise and gender-based frequency. To address customer complaints on voice recognition (VR), Hyundai and Brüel & Kjær Global Engineering Services analysed the performance of the in-vehicle VR system and the sensitivity to background noise.
Road traffic noise is one of the most widespread environmental noise problems globally. To help reduce noise in our environment, government agencies set pass-by noise emission limits for each category of ground vehicle. HBK indoor pass-by testing helps vehicle OEMs comply with new noise limits.
