This article combines the hot topic data of the entire network in the past 10 days to analyze the causes of the problem and provide practical suggestions.

1.Whistle regulations: According to the "Railway Technical Management Regulations", trains must sound their whistles when passing through crossings and curves. Some communities are significantly affected due to their close proximity to railway crossings.
2.Orbital vibration: Old railway tracks or sections without shock-absorbing devices are prone to produce low-frequency noise.
3.night freight train: Freight trains in some cities pass intensively at night, and the noise decibels can reach more than 70dB.

4. Solutions and Suggestions
1.Complain through official channels: Submit noise data through the 12345 hotline or the railway 12306 APP, and require the installation of soundproof screens (successful case: a residential area in Nanjing will add a 300-meter sound barrier in 2024).
2.Home noise reduction measures: - Install double-layer insulating glass (can reduce noise by 30-40dB) - Use white noise machines to cover up sudden sirens
3.Community joint action: Organize residents to jointly apply to the environmental protection department for noise monitoring. If the limit value of the "Acoustic Environment Quality Standard" (GB3096-2008) is exceeded, rectification can be requested.

| Chengdu | It is prohibited to whistle on railways around residential areas from 23:00 to 6:00 | Trial in May 2024 |
| Wuhan | New railway projects require fully enclosed sound barriers | Implemented in January 2024 |
If your community is facing similar problems, it is recommended to collect noise decibel data immediately (preliminary measurement can be done using mobile APP), and jointly submit written materials to the urban planning department.
