Thank you to all the participants who made the 12th International Workshop on Railway Noise in Terrigal, Australia a great success! We hope to see you at the next workshop in 2019.

On behalf of the Australian Acoustical Society, we would particularly like to thank our main sponsors (Pandrol Track Systems, Delkor Rail and Vossloh Fastenings Systems) and our hosting partner, Asset Standards Authority, for their support.

The group photograph is now available here and a selection of other photographs from the event will be added to the website in the near future.

The International Workshop on Railway Noise offers a unique forum for meeting and interacting with international experts in the fields of railway noise and vibration. The workshop was first held in 1976 in Derby, UK and now occurs on a three year cycle, with the most recent event in Uddevalla, Sweden, which attracted 160 delegates from 19 countries.

The workshops contribute greatly to the increased understanding of many problems in railway noise and vibration. There are no parallel sessions so the workshop format allows for comprehensive discussions of all topics. Papers are peer reviewed and published in a special issue of Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design.

The workshop will be held in Terrigal, a vibrant cosmopolitan village located on NSW’s beautiful Central Coast. It may only be a short distance from Sydney, but it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. While attending the IWRN you will experience Australian beach life on one of the country’s most picturesque coastlines. See more information about Terrigal.
