A short state of the art survey of acoustic energy harvesting methods and MEMS is realized in this
paper. Comparison between the basic functional parameters is carried out of the standard solutions for receiving,
converting and storing the energy from the noise sources. The goal is to study the possibility of applying MEMS
for acoustic energy harvesting in a new construction for railway noise reduction. For this purpose experimental
tests are made. On the base of the analysis of the results conclusions about effectiveness of the solution are done.
