Article: Acoustics and vibrations
Noise emissions, noise evaluations, speech intelligibility, etc.
We can provide the assistance you need to address your acoustic and vibration concerns:
For people and the environment
- Guideline and limit values for immissions and emissions protection
- Legal aspects
- Noise and vibration effects, psychoacoustics
- Noise and vibration assessment at areas of work
- Perceptibility of acoustic warning signals
- Interior acoustic noise/privacy
- Speech intelligibility
For vehicles
- Noise emissions of vehicles (rolling noise, powertrain noise, noise from auxiliary equipment, aerodynamic noise, curve and brake squeaking)
- Acoustic properties of vehicle components (e.g. wheels, brake shoes, fans, environmental control systems)
- Vehicle-side vibration influences
- Noise and vibration-reducing measures for the vehicle
- Acoustic signalling equipment
- Interior acoustics and interior vehicle sound propagation (passenger area and driver's cab)
For infrastructure
- Noise and vibration emissions along rail transit routes
- Acoustic quality of the rail running surface and acoustic properties of the permanent way (e.g. rail pads, ties)
- Infrastructure-side noise-reducing measures (e.g. specially monitored track, sound barriers, rail web dampers)
- Infrastructure-side vibration-reducing measures (e.g. mass-spring systems, sub-ballast mats, highly elastic rail fastening devices)
- Noise and vibration emissions of bridges
- General traffic noise, noise mapping
- Noise in expansive areas (e.g. marshalling yards, transshipment stations, holding sidings)
- Acoustic properties of infrastructure components (e.g. retarders)
- Micro-pressure waves, acoustic warning signals, construction noise and construction-related vibrations
Our equipment
Test laboratory: If required, we will make use of our test laboratories to address your specific concerns, such as the test laboratory for acoustics and vibrations in Munich.
