Ugh. We live near both!! City life definitely has its pros and cons!
-
Neither! Our neighbourhood is really quiet. Sometimes TOO quiet!
-
Neither! We have a police station a few blocks down. But I like it. Makes me feel secure. haha
-
Nope although at our old house every now and then you can just barely hear the train's whistle.
-
My condo was right next to a fire station but now our house is 2 blocks away....we don't ever really hear the trucks though!
-
We live close to a fire station, but it must not get much action, because I don't hear many sirens.
Before we moved into this house our apartment was less then a block from the train tracks. After a little while I didn't even hear the trains going by.
-
Fire station about a mile away. No train tracks, though.
-
Train tracks are a mile away and fire station is a half mile.
-
neither. The ambulance station isn't too far, but we don't hear that often. We are pretty close to an open active quarry and 2-3 times a year a quarry blast will shake the whole neighbourhood. It's pretty crazy.
-
I live next to both!
-
Neither!
-
We used to live in the "downtown" area and lived near both. We got so used to the city sounds! When we moved to the "suburbs", it was so eerily quiet!!
-
We live near train tracks, not for commuting but it goes through here several times a day and it's pretty loud.
-
We live near train tracks but not close enough that I can hear it from my house.
-
We don't live near enough to hear them.
-
I can hear a train passing right now! We are not near a fire station, though.
-
We live within feet of the light rail....but it's electric, so it really isn't loud. I can hear it whizzing past sometimes, but it doesn't bother me at all.
There's a fire station maybe...4 blocks from here? But I've never heard it at all.
-
The train tracks run right behind the house! Fire & Police stations are about 5 minutes driving distance away.
-
There's an Amtrak station literally right across the street and tracks behind our complex. I could throw a rock on them from our deck. Surprisingly I only rarely hear the trains. There's a fire station <1/2 mile away.
-
Fire station is close, but not close enough that we hear it. We do have train tracks close but I'm a heavy sleeper so it doesn't bother me.
-
nope. ils first house up north has a train track in their back yard!
-
Nope. We're in the country... nothing is near us!
-
I live near train tracks but there are hardly any trains on it - maybe one a day. I want to figure out the schedule so we can walk down the road where we can see the tracks and watch it go by someday with M.
-
Train tracks are about a mile and a half away, and I almost never hear anything. They are building a new fire station about a mile from my house in the other direction, but I don't anticipate a lot of noise. I hear more from the HS 2 miles away when they have band practice lol!!
-
Not train tracks, but it seems like we don't go a single morning or evening without being serenaded by multiple police and ambulance sirens!
