The noise level in metro platforms and halls in a city
Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 36, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective To investigate the noise level and influencing factors in metro platforms and station halls， thereby providing the scientific basis for the establishment of hygienic standards.Methods During the morning peak（7：00‒9：30）and off-peak （9：30‒17：00） on weekdays， the noise levels were measured with noise meters at 39 monitoring points of 13 station platforms and 31 monitoring points of 6 station halls. The monitoring points arrangement and detection methods referred to the Examination methods for public places—Part 1： physical parameters（GB/T 18204.1‒2013）.Results The measured noise level in the station ranged from 69.25 to 86.17 dB（A）， accounting for 44.74% below 75 dB（A）， 89.47% below 80 dB（A） and 97.37% below 85 dB（A）.The noise level of the platform ［（76.38±4.19） dB（A）］ was higher than that of the station hall ［（74.24±4.50） dB（A）］（P<0.01）. The noise level of the elevated platforms ［（80.01±2.25） dB（A）］ was higher than that of the underground platforms ［（75.73±4.13） dB（A）］（P<0.01）， and the noise level of the platforms without platform screen doors（PSD） ［（80.21±5.08） dB（A）］ was higher than that of platforms with PSD［（74.73±3.16） dB（A）］ （P<0.01）. No statistical significant differences were observed among the different areas of the platforms， monitoring periods， platform depth， exit mode and operation years （P>0.05）.Conclusion The noise level in metro stations in the city does not fully meet the requirements of current relevant standards. It is suggested to take noise reduction measures to reduce the noise of metro stations.
