Curve squeal with large magnitude high-pitch tonal components generated during negotiation through tight curves is generally considered as the most disturbing noise emitted by rail traffic. It is commonly attributed to self-excited vibrations that develop due to large lateral creepage caused by imperfect curving of wheelsets.The in-house code for time-domain simulation of high-frequency dynamic wheel–rail interaction WERAN (WhEel/RAil Noise) is used to investigate curve squeal at a 213 m radius curve on the Stockholm metro. WERAN integrates pre-calculated impulse response functions for track and wheel dynamics with Kalker’s variational method for transient rolling contact. The wheel and track models are calibrated against mobility measurements from the studied curve and the current rail vehicle. Low-frequency curving dynamics are incorporated using the commercial software SIMPACK.The calibrated model is used to explore curve squeal generation under varying wheel–rail contact conditions. Frequency characteristics of the simulated lateral wheel–rail contact forces are compared with pass-by noise measurements. Additionally, a parameter study investigates the impact of track parameters, such as track gauge and rail pad stiffness, on squeal generation.
