  • Yes, I live near an airport and I am totally used to the planes.Sometimes I just curse when I'm watching a TV programme and the house rattles when a plane goes over near in an important part in the programme!
  • yes i don't even hear the subway anymore.
  • You actually do. For the first seven years of my life, I lived by JFK. House was right on the approach to the airport. Planes would fly so low, you could almost see the pilots in the cockpit. The noise really does fade into the background after a while. Like my mother yelling at me to pick up my toys:)
  • My husband's parents live by a railroad track and they don't even notice it anymore unless we are there to draw their attention to it!
  • yes you do..when I was growing up we lived right across the street from a railroad track. Almost every morning at 3 am a train would come through. It sounded like the house was coming apart. After a while..if the train DIDN'T come..it would wake me up.
  • I used to live in a place where the trains went past pretty much on the hour behind our house. The whole house shook when that happened, and there was all that rattling/loudness, but it strangely became easy to ignore it after a while. The weirdest thing was when it didn't happen - I really noticed the silence if it wasn't on time or if I was staying somewhere else.
  • Yeah we do. I live right by the interstate, major intersection, railroad and by an airport. The noises can be soothing at night. When I can't sleep, I count the number of accidents I can hear.
