Earlier this month, the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) announced ongoing work to install noise barriers along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor. These barriers, standing 2 meters tall and 1 meter wide, are designed to reduce noise from the train and its civil structures during operations. Each barrier panel weighs around 830-840 kg and is intended to reflect and distribute the aerodynamic sound from the train, primarily generated by the wheels on the tracks.
