I used to live in a home in Lawton, Oklahoma, with the Frisco train tracks not more than 30 feet from our back yard's fence. I know about train noise and the horn toots. Yet, somehow, I managed to sleep at night and watch television like any other child, although, when my aunts, uncles, and cousins visited, they were frightened...... <br /> <br />Yet, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail cars make less noise running over their new tracks in Dallas than a bus on a street........ <br />When I rode the TGV in France, leaving automobiles on the autobahn as if they were sitting still, I MUST ADMIT THIS IS A WONDERFUL FEELING-BLOWING THE DOORS OFF THE CARS-there were a lot of noise repression walls(similar to freeways in some cities). There ain't no way to reduce the noise of an aircraft, but noise repression walls can reduce train noise some 90 percent. <br /> <br />
