11. Simulating rolling noise on ballasted and slab tracks: vibration, radiation, and pass-by signals
Abstract : Shifting to rail-bound freight and passenger traffic is key in Europe's strategy towards transport decarbonisation. However, increasing railway traffic can increase environmental noise pollution. Rolling noise is often the dominant noise source. It originates from the interaction of the rough running surfaces of wheel and rail. READ MORE

12. Graded index sonic crystal noise barriers: An introduction to design and optimization
Abstract : Environmental noise pollution and its impact on human beings remains to be an important topic in acoustics. Conservative estimations of the World Health Organization have shown that traffic related noise alone causes a loss of approximately one million healthy life years, only within Western Europe.

13. Health effects of road traffic noise in childhood and adolescence
Abstract : Traffic noise is an increasing environmental exposure, primarily as a consequence of continuous urbanisation and growth of the transport sector. The burden of disease from noise is the second highest in Europe among all environmental exposures, after air pollution, and WHO recently proposed more strict environmental noise guidelines.
