Abstract
In order to determine the actual circumstances of wayside low-frequency
noise and infrasound generated by high-speed trains (Shinkansen),
field measurements were performed at two sites, one near a tunnel
portal and the other in a fully open section. The measurements were
based upon the manual issued by the Ministry of the Environment of
Japan in October 2000 and conducted to obtain G-weighted SPL, 1/3-octave
band spectra, velocity dependence and distance attenuation of SPL.
The measured results show that major components of the low-frequency
noise from the tunnel portal are impulsive micro-pressure waves and
continuous pressure waves, while those in the open section are near-field
hydrodynamic pressure variations and far-field acoustic pressure
waves.
