Abstract

The noise caused by vehicle wheels rolling on conventional rails is becoming an essential problem in recent years. In this report, we introduce the results of an analysis regarding the noises as reduced and executed case studies. The noise caused by corrugated narrow gauge wheels is normally intense to compare with that caused by conventional wheels. As a countermeasure therefore, we manufactured a simple sound proof cover applicable to the corrugated wheels experimentally, and examined and sought the effects of vibrations and noise levels through analysis and experiments.
