Vibrations in the railway environment are induced by interactive forces at the wheel-rail interface, which cause track components like rails and sleepers to move and transmit vibrations, or Rayleigh waves , into the ground. The length of these waves varies depending on the type of train; freight trains travelling at low speeds generate low frequencies, while passenger trains which tend to travel faster usually emit higher frequency waves, which are more likely to impact nearby buildings and people.
