Rail transportation, a fundamental pillar of modern transit, offers an efficient mode of travel with lesser environmental impact compared to road and air transport. Rail transit is seeing an even bigger surge today with new highspeed rail, as well as urban metro and light rail projects emerging, resulting in a rapid development of track infrastructure. However, the inherent rail noise and vibration associated with rail operations pose challenges to passenger comfort, safety, and the well-being of nearby communities.
Addressing this persistent issue, various solutions have been developed to reduce noise levels for inside rail cars, as well as noise pollution near railways, both playing a crucial role in enhancing the overall travel experience.
Common noise reduction solutions include noisebarriers and soundabsorbers installed along busy infrastructure segments. Pyrotek, a leading manufacturer in this field, goes beyond conventional approaches with its innovative product, Decidamp RTD – a tuned mass rail damper designed to treat the noise problem at its source.
