The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the noise level and source, reduce the subway lineⅡ noise. As a result of measurement of subway line Ⅱ in Busan the highest value section of uproad line was from Jigegol to Motgol by 89 dB(A). The sections of conversation and listening interference(over 80 dB(A)) were 21 sections(55%) of 38 sections. Among these sections, 15 sections(71%) were produced rolling noise, 3 sections(14%) squeal noise, 2 sections(10%) braking noise and 1 section(5%) fan noise, and then a main noise source was the rolling noise. In case of downroad line, the highest value section was from Busan Metro Art Museum to Centum city, Motgol to Jigelgol by 88 dB(A). The sections of conversation and listening interference(over 80 dB(A)) were 18 sections(47%) of 38 sections. Among these sections, 15 sections(83%) produced rolling noise, 2 sections(11%) squeal noise and 1 section(6%) braking noise were investigated in this study. and then a main noise source was the rolling noise.

We investigated and analysed the actual conditions and characteristics of railroad noise levels for 17 sites in the vicinity of the Seoul-Pusan Line. The results are summarized. as follows : 1) Railroad noise level ranged to 64∼74 L_eq dB(A) at day time and ranged to 60∼72 L_eq dB(A) at night time. 2) Increased night noise level depend on the increase of trains passing at night time. 3) The major factor of increased noise level in the vicinity of stations are using loudspeakers and stream whistle on trains. 4) Decreased effect of noise according to distance is able to be described quantitatively using regression equations of multiplicative model. L_eq=78.59 X^-0.056 n=25, r=-0.994, s.e.=1.007 P_av =105.68X^-0073, n =25, r =-0.997, s.e. = 1.007 Also increased and decreased effect of noise according to floor in apartment is able to be described quantitatively using regression equations of multiplicative model. L_eq = 64.238 X^0.0567, n = 39, r = 0.787, s. e. = 1.004 P_av. = 79.963 X^0.0254 n = 39, r = 0.689, s. e. = 1.056 5) Average noise level in high floor is over 70L_eq dB(A) at day and night time, so more detailed soundproofing countermeasured in high floors apartment is required.
