Noise Levels From Operations of CTA Rail Transit Trains

By George Paul Wilson, Chicago Transit Authority, Ihrig & Associates Wilson

This report details the noise levels generated by the operation of Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) rail transit trains. Authored by George Paul Wilson and Wilson, Ihrig & Associates, in collaboration with the Chicago Transit Authority, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of the acoustic impact of train operations on the surrounding environment.

Originally published in 1976, this document offers valuable insights into the challenges of managing noise pollution in urban transportation systems. The findings are relevant to urban planners, transportation engineers, and environmental scientists concerned with mitigating the effects of rail transit noise on communities. This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between urban transportation infrastructure and environmental quality.
