The construction of the elevated railway has led to concerns about the noise from trains, particularly as tracks often pass close to residential dwellings. One specific issue relates to the noise from trains on bridges. The wayside noise for the train was measured to get the basic data that can be used to prepare count measures for solving environmental noise problems. Noise levels were measured simultaneously at three points in various distances from the railroad and at four points classified by floor. In this paper we measure the wayside noise in elevated railway and noise of normal operation compare with operating under train engine idling condition and investigate effect of nearby-building induced by train operation.
