Investigation on the time/frequency domain prediction model of radiation noise based on the source map

Abstract

The main exterior noise sources of the high-speed train CRH380AM, such as pantograph and bogie, are studied by using the field test sound imaging data, and the equivalent point source spectrums are obtained here. Then, the prediction model of the exterior train noise is presented by using the moving point sound source radiation model in the time/frequency domain. The correctness and effectiveness of the model are verified by the field test data. The radiation contribution of local noise sources is analyzed by using this model, and the following conclusions are obtained: The largest noise sources are in the bogie areas, which provide the radiation contribution rate of about 80% when the train speed is above 300 km/h. The variation of the maximum radiation noise level can be ignored when the train formation or the pantograph lifting position is changed. The model can evaluate the radiated noise of similar vehicles quickly and accurately, which provides technical reference for acoustic optimization design of high-speed train.
