Octave band sound attenuation predicted by the 2.5D acoustic FE model and compared with measurements for circular railway tunnel from [18]. Figure 6. Sound distribution at the right-hand side... Figure 7. Sound distribution on the bottom... Figure 9. Sound distribution with train height obtained from measurement [35] and from the 2.5D acoustic models in one-third octave bands... Figure 10. Sound distribution with train height in one-third octave bands due to a monopole source... Figure 11. Sound distribution along the train in the 1.6 kHz one-third octave band due to a monopole source under the train... Figure 12. Sound distribution on the train external surfaces Figure 13. Sound pressure on the train side surface at receiver P5 normalised by volume velocity. Figure 14. SPL on the centreline of each surface at x=0 m, in one-third octave frequency bands due to a monopole source beneath the train
