Abstract
Railway noise is a major environmental and public health problem. When the train is moving, a few clear sounds are emitted: the noise of the locomotive engine and the wheels turning on the rail. As a result, both passenger and freight trains emit noise in the suburbs, but their noise levels are different.
EU member states have different limits on environmental noise pollution. As a rule, tests that are within these limits are only carried out with new infrastructure or large-scale reconstruction.
The article presents research at Paneriai railway station, measuring the noise level at two points A and B near people’s house. The studies were carried out in places where there were no noise suppression measures. Measurements of noise levels were made during the evening and at night by a freight train passing by station and stopping at the station.
