Abstract
The concept of the active sound cancellation control of the railway wheel/rail noises by the On-vehicle-type devices is presented. And the apparatus of randomly exciting 60kg rail by the electromagnetic shaker which is enclosed with the panel system simulating the floor/side wall of the railway car was constructed. Further, one unit of the devices which realizes in principle the sound cancellation control of the see-through space was manufactured and the parabola-microphone and actuating speaker was installed on it in addition to the controller consisting of the analog electrical band-pass filter circuit group. And it was verified that the sound cancellation control effects are observed actually for the both cases of a speaker and the randomly excited rail system which were regarded as the primary sound sources.
