According to measured and modeled noise levels in the Madison area, residents hear noise levels that average approximately 55 to 57 dBA. Modeled future noise levels, with improved tracks and passenger train technology, are expected to be approximately 57 dBA east of Powers Avenue, and 50 dBA west of Powers Avenue. The lower noise levels west of Powers Avenue are associated with lower train speeds.
