Railway noise influences the shaping of the acoustic climate in many regions. Although it is less bothersome than road and air traffic noise, it can still cause numerous negative effects, including discomfort, anger, depression, helplessness, and sleep disturbances. Currently, there are many methods available for estimating railway noise, including assessing its impact on humans, identifying sound sources, and modeling environmental noise.

sound exposure levels
The aim of this article is to analyze the sound levels generated by passing trains depending on the topography around the railway line (tracks located at ground level, in a cutting, or on an embankment) and the type of traction vehicle pulling the train sets. The research was conducted on railway line No. 3 between Podstolice and Nekla in the Greater Poland Province. The measurements showed that the highest sound levels were generated when trains passed at ground level, while the lowest levels occurred when the tracks were located in a cutting.
