New rail schemes can generate significant levels of noise over large areas. AF Acoustics has many years of experience of dealing with major rail schemes and carrying out detailed noise and vibration assessments.
Our work has involved carrying out the detailed studies using prediction methodologies contained in Calculation of Rail Noise, and the assessment methodologies using the Noise Insulation Regulations 1988 and Noise Insulation (Railway) Regulations 1996.
AF Acoustics extensive noise and vibration services to the railway sector covers construction and operational aspects for both underground and overground railways and include:
