Abstract	This study deals with the meaning that musicians and non-musicians attach to two contemporary railway noise compositions as conveyed through verbal and audio-graphic responses. The purpose of this mixed-method study was twofold: (1) to examine similarities and differences between musicians and non-musicians in their responses to contemporary train-noise music; (2) to explore the effect of two train-noise compositional techniques -- orchestral and electro-acoustic -- on listeners' verbal and audio-graphic responses. 14 participants (7 music students and 7 non-musicians) took part in the study. Two sessions were held with each participant. Two musical pieces were presented; one in each session in a randomised order: Villa-Lobos's orchestral "The Little Train of the Caipira" (1930); and Reich's electro-acoustic "Europe during the War" (1988). Four categories emerged: associations (train associations or idiosyncratic imagery), musical features (e.g. tempo, pitch, instrumentation), affect (emotions, assessment, like/dislike), and audio-graphic types (e.g. figurative drawings and musical maps). Qualitative analyses indicated both similarities and differences between musicians and non-musicians by the four categories. The statistical analyses showed a marginal significance between musicians and non-musicians in the second category (musical features). The study highlights the benefits of including environmental noise music in music education programmes for listeners with and without formal musical backgrounds. (As Provided).
