The study focuses on prediction of structure-borne noise levels using an algorithm which takes into account the geology, the vibration transfer coupling between the ground and a typical dwelling, the efficiency of the floor to re-radiate the vibration and typical acoustic properties of a dwelling. With the experimentation conducted in various locations around Sydney, a consensus was drawn on the noise and vibration assessment according to the geology of the region. The predicted structure-borne rail noise is to be juxtaposed with the measured data to suit the conditions in the areas concerned UR - http://dspace.nal.gov.au/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/350/p5.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y ER -
