| Abstract | Noise from urban rail operations is more than just annoying. Continued exposure to high noise levels produces human stress, fatigue, and possibly irreversible hearing loss. Recent census data combined with measurements of noise from elevated tracks indicate that in New York City alone, over half a million people are exposed to noise levels unacceptable by EPA standards. |
