My house is pretty well insulated, so I never hear cars going by. I am only about 15 minutes away from a metropolitan airport and occasionally will hear a plane go over, if it is low enough. Sometimes, in the still of the night, I can faintly hear a train whistle. The strange part of the train whistle, is that I have no idea where the train whistle is coming from. I have been in all directions, for miles, and no train tracks. It is weird.
-
We hear planes sometimes but not very often. I think it's just location rather than good insulation.
-
We are 2 miles from the train track and here them on a regular base. ther is a small airport 10 miles from me and we here them all the time ogoing over the house.
-
I wonder how you guys sleeps at night. Constant noises of trains and airplans, you can even shoot a movie with those noise lol.
-
I live near some train tracks, so I hear trains all the time late at night. For some reason I find the sound to be comforting, so I would miss it if I couldn't hear it.
-
We can only when the windows are open, and we actually don't live very far from an airport.
-
If the windows are open then it's possible to hear the trains that go by once in awhile even though the tracks are several blocks away...or the sound of nearby church bells on Sundays, otherwise it's fairly quiet. The sound of the birds chirping in the spring/summer is always a favorite sound!! :)
-
I'm not too far from the airport and I hear the airplanes pretty frequently when I'm really trying to concentrate on something on the 2nd floor. However, ironically I hardly notice them at most other times or when I'm sleeping.
-
Yes! Plus the garbage truck, lawn mowers, the refrigerator and kitchen fan! All of them very noisy!
-
Yes I do. I live only a mile for a small local airport. It isn't very busy, but when the small jets take off or land they usually go right over the top of the house. After a while you kinda get used to it, so it doesn't bother me too much.
-
I hear everything from inside my house, from trains, planes to fire engines, police sirens and ambulances. It is very annoying, believe me.
-
No man made noise for me, unless a siren goes by on a rare occasion. Hearing a coyote is a much more more common sound.

I hear everything from inside my house, from trains, planes to fire engines, police sirens and ambulances. :wave:

I live in the DC area. Frequently, I hear President Obama flying in Air Force One from inside my house. I can hear trains coming down the tracks from inside my house as well. I can also hear ambulances. Hearing these sounds is very enjoyable to me.
-
No. I live 30 minutes from the airport and no trains are near me either.
-
There is a train that goes by during the day, but I'm usually working
-
I live about 5 miles from the DFW airport and rarely here the planes unless the windows are open and even than it is pretty much depending on which way the wind is blowing. The trains are another story. About a mile north of a railroad crossing and we can hear them clearly outside the house and really muffled at night. Have to admit given my choices I would much rather here the train noises than the plane noises.
-
We live very close to the train lines. In the evenings it seems as if the passing trains "talk" to each other. Sometimes they shout and sometimes they whisper. The only time when I get annoyed is when they are so loud that I cannot hear the TV :(
-
Yes, because my place is not sound proof.
-
sometimes but i live on a mountain so im a little closer to the clouds lol.
-
Yes, I don't live close to an airport, but I do live under a flight path. The planes aren't that noisy unless its bad weather and they have to fly at lower altitudes. I can also hear a train around 5am every now and then.
-
:wave: We live 6-7 houses from a railroad track so, yes, we definitely hear the trains. One of my favorite sounds is hearing a train go by while it's raining. Very comforting and it puts me to sleep. :fish:
-
We used to live where we could hear the trains going by. I always loved to hear them whistle and the noise from the wheels. After a while when we would get visitors and they would say "How can you stand the noise from the trains?" we would say "what trains"? We would be so used to it, that we would have to concentrate to hear them!!!
-
Yes I can hear both. Train about 3 blocks away and airport 1 mile away.
-
I can happily say no I don't hear any noises. I am out in the suburbian sticks and rarely her a car go by. I love it.

Actually, being a filmmaker, the sound crew prefer to not have noises such as trains and airplanes. That being said they're shooting a movie in my town right now, just one block from the railroad switchyard. It's the same place they shot Swing Vote and other films.
As for me I live two and a half blocks from the switchyard so I hear the trains all the time. They remind me of my brother because he likes trains. Occasionally I hear an ultralight flying overhead. One morning I was awoken by the sound of a hot air burner, not because it was loud, but because I crewed for fifteen years and love balloons. When they were filming Swing Vote I was drawn outside by the sound of a dirigible flying around one day and helicopters another. ;D These sounds don't usually annoy me, but my neighbors who blast their music and verbally abuse their children are another story. :angry7:
-
I hear planes and helicopters a lot. I see them a lot too. That's probably because I live right by an airport though. ;D I love hearing trains more though. Especially early in the morning, when I'm the only awake. I like watching them plow on by, completely oblivious to my existence. I don't live quite as close to an active track as I wish I did, but I can still hear them. :thumbsup:
-
Yeah, I live by an airport so I tend to hear an occasional plane once in a while.
-
My home is insulated well, but every once in a blue moon, I can hear airplanes, choppers, or a train. The planes and choppers, I could do without, but the distant horn of a train is a little pleasant actually.
-
I don't live near any train tracks but if I plane is a large military plane or if its flying low, I can hear it from inside my house.
-
There are railroad tracks behind the houses across from mine so I can hear and feel the train going by quite often. I can hear the Blue Angels practicing from my house but rarely hear normal planes
-
No man made noise for me, unless a siren goes by on a rare occasion. Hearing a coyote is a much more more common sound.
Same here only replace the coyote with nightingales.
-
I usually just hear cars and other miscellaneous noises from outside my apartment. I don't think our building is well insulated because I hear just about everything. Oh well, not gonna be here when the lease is up!
-
sometimes i can hear a plane but only if it is low enough. the airport isnt far from my place.
