GOING AT THE SOURCE OF A PROBLEM
Our Commitment to Environment and People
Trains are among the most sustainable (green) forms of transport, yet noise pollution is a serious problem to address. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), traffic noise alone is harmful to the health of almost every third person in the WHO European Region.
So far just 33% of wagons are Noise TSI compliant.

OUR SOLUTIONS
THE WIDEST LINE OF NOISE REDUCTION SOLUTIONS
Lucchini RS has started to work on the noise pollution issue long before the market has requested it, which allowed the group to develop the widest range of noise reduction solutions for the train wheels. We’re proud to have reduced total vehicle noise emissions for more than 6dB on thousands of vehicles.

SILENCE-DRIVEN DESIGN
We start optimizing the overall emissions of our wheels during the DESIGN phase by using the STARDAMP software, impacting the noise reduction AT SOURCE.
STARDAMP software analyzes the wheel geometry, the roughness conditions of the wheel/rail interferences and allows to scientifically quantify the efficiency of acoustic rail and wheel dampers, thus, reducing the need for costly field tests on real track.
Software used to validate lower noise emissions of our Syope® wheels.
REDUCE TOTAL ROLLING NOISE
The radial wheel-sound absorbers, especially effective at high speeds are proven to reduce the rolling noise by up to 9 dB(A) on the total noise emission of the vehicle.
ELIMINATE CURVE SQUEAL
Reduce the disturbing curve travel noise with our axial sound absorber by up to 41 dB(A) at specific squealing frequencies.
WHY SYOPE?
GETTING TO THE CORE OF SYOPE
Syope means “silent” in Ancient Greek and it has been considered a virtue by many philosophers. Socrates has believed that silence is not an absence of noise.
It’s a profound melody that can be heard about all the noise. When the volume of the train wheels’ is turned down it becomes a “white noise”, that can promote relaxation, lower stress levels and improve sleep.
We invite you to experience the core of “Syope” with the relaxing Train Sounds.
Listen to the lulling sounds of the night train riding through the scenic Italian countryside or let the stress flow away while soft rain falls on the roof and thunder breaks the beautiful monotony of the train wheels humdrum.
The quieter you become the more you can hear.

SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THE NOISE
Lucchini RS Group has developed a number of solutions reducing noise caused by railway wheel operations.
A significant reduction of the vibration (and thus also noise) of wheels in operation is achieved through the combination of SYOPE® technology and STARDAMP (TWINS algorithm based software)
