Our last house was just a few blocks from a very busy set of train tracks that crossed two intersections. We'd get the pleasure of hearing the blasts from the horn at both intersections. REAL fun at 1:30 in the morning. lol

Yes, we have trains that come to the Power plant with coal, and a small community airport.

we have a freeway that some of our neighbors can hear and when we go jogging in the morning we feel really sorry for them because its so freaking loud. We dont really get it where we live but sometimes in the morning if you stand in the front yard you can hear it. Mostly its just the neighbors dog barking.

I have a train about 3 bocks away. Normally it is not very loud, but my son ALWAYS hears it. "Hear TRAIN mommy??" LOL It's cute.

I lived in Atlantic City for 4 years, In the early morning people would whistle for cabs, jitneys would start moving around (mini buses),and by 7:00 Am there was bedlam. Now I only hear birds, one car goes out at %:30 and comes back at %:00. In the summer there are insects and occassionally coyotes.

I have race car drivers on either side of me. Rolling up and down the road all hours. That's pretty loud and annoying to say the least.

I have a creek out back that you can hear from time to time. ;-)
At night you can sometimes hear a distant train whistle or highway noise that is several blocks away, but aside from that, not much.

My house is about 3 blocks from the railroad. When I first moved here, I noticed everytime a train passed by. It felt like the train was going through my living room. Living here for a few years now, I hardly hear the train, but I've always loved the sounds of trains, enough to write poetry about them!
by Marguerite on September 20th, 2008
We lived in that house for about five years and during the day I didn't really notice the trains. It was just hard at night, when I'd be laying there almost falling asleep, trying to ignore my husband's snoring, and finally getting sleepy feeling, than I'd hear a train blasting it's whistle four or five times at each crossing! Not good for insomniacs! lol

Sounds like you need earplugs!
