Psychoacoustic Properties Analysis on Interior Noise of High-Speed Trains

In order to analyze the noise properties and promote the sound comfort of the high-speed train, the noise samples are collected in passengers cars, dining cars and car joint parts at different speeds. By means of 18 sound samples, the psychoacoustic parameters of the high-speed train are discussed. Before calculation of other psychoacoustic properties, the calculation method of loudness must be properly chosen through analysis of all loudness calculation method. In the paper, the Filter/ISO 532B method is selected to obtain the loudness of the high-speed train and based on the loudness; other psychoacoustic properties are obtained and analyzed. The discussion of psychoacoustic properties is the basis of further noise evaluation and control of high-speed trains.
