[edit] Noise

One reference from TGV says that recorded noise levels at a home 300 meters from a TGV track in 2001 reached up to 97 decibels, apparently with noise barriers in place. [1] What records are these newer, faster trains setting? Mike Serfas 04:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)




The closer you get to sonic speeds (and this TGV POS is about half way there!!), the worse the noise polution from air passing around the vehicle. Not to mention noise from the wheels and whatever else (I'm not really 'up to speed' on TGV technology; pun intended). I think it is pretty cool that these trains are still being revamped again and again to be faster and more efficient.209.114.201.30 10:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random

This 'POS' evidently isn't a piece of shit :P 203.214.92.220 09:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hehe yeah.
I got the impression that calling it a 'POS trainset' was some sort of (probably anti-French) troll as well. --86.128.252.182 02:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
