Blowing at Crossings

I agree that some people may find trains blowing their horns or whistles at grade crossings annoying at night. I live about a mile off the former L&N Dixie Line (CSX) and often hear the trains, but enjoy it. I previously lived in Louisville, KY, and noticed that the horns sounded by engineers at the grade crossings there seem to be of lower volume ( I believe there is a city ordanace requiring it ). The ultimate solution seems to be what my hometown of Livermore CA did some years ago. They relocated the tracks of the SP/WP ( now UP) and eliminated many grade crossings ( underpasses were installed, some roads were dead ended at the tracks). It was a major project and I don't recall how it was financed ( city, railroad or both).
