IDF Noise and Vibrations
  • Railways – a dynamic, variable source of noise

  • LOWNOISEPAD project: transforming Europe’s railways for a quieter and more sustainable future
    Europe’s railway networks are making significant progress towards a much quieter track. The LOWNOISEPAD project is an important step in that direction, supporting a more sustainable railway system. We engage with expert insights and input from key project members, offering a deeper understanding of this initiative to become better neighbours and foster a green recovery. Now, as the project reaches its culmination, Pinar Yilmazer, Senior Programme Advisor at International Union of Railways (UIC), dives into the findings and recommendations that promise to redefine railway noise reduction.
