美國加州舊金山灣區的捷運系統(Bay Area Rapid Transit, BART)於1972年開始營運,
營運四十餘年以來的車輛一直採用藏在車體裡的車門
(有時被稱作內藏門,如EMU500~800一般的設計),
這車門被嫌吵:
1.車門在行駛時會在餘隙之間震動並發出噪音
2.餘隙也讓行駛的噪音傳入車內,尤其是在地下段行駛的噪音。
大約2018年起,BART全新的電聯車開始上線,
它們看起來採用如台北捷運的外掛式車門,
外掛式車門在一般印象中是會更吵,
但是BART採用此車門的訴求卻是比舊車更安靜,為什麼?
原因是這個車門的滑軌有特異功能,
最後關上時,會往內3/4英吋(約相當於19mm),
因為軌道形狀不是傳統的直線,看照片就知道了:

美國BART官方原文:
The new doors utilize micro-plug door technology.
This means they slide on a track outside the train,
similar to a mini-van door.
As they slide closed, they pull in 3/4 of an inch to seal tightly around
the door frame.
This “plug” dampens the amount of noise that reaches the inside of the train,
as well as providing better thermal insulation,
making the cars more comfortable on very hot or cold days.
