Passengers on the G797 high-speed train from Beijing to Suzhou are choosing quiet carriages for a more peaceful journey. The train operates with specific protocols for its 'alert carriages,' including adjusting volume levels to below 40 decibels and ensuring clear signage. These procedures are part of the pre-departure checks for each train set. This carriage requires specific volume levels for announcements and has a lower ambient noise level. Passengers are reminded to be mindful of others, especially children and parents, and to avoid using loud audio devices.
