In many railway noise problems (especially rolling noise and curve squeal noise), the wheel plays a fundamental role in terms of sound radiation . In particular, the axial vibration of the wheel surface results into efficient sound radiation (the surface vibration of the wheel induces a perturbation of the surrounding air and generates a consequent radiated sound field) . 10 I.
