โœฆ Synopsis

The Netherlands Railways have great problems in satisfying the noise limits in railway yards. A short description of the Dutch noise legislation for railways is given.

Measurements were taken at a small-radius curve, part of which was sprayed with water. The results of these measurements were good: reductions of 6-11 dB in the equivalent noise levels were achieved.
