I live 10-15 miles southeast of a major airport. My house is pretty well insulated so I don't hear cars going by or most noises. Once in a great while the flight pattern must change and I will hear a series of planes going overhead. Most of the time they are too high for me to hear them. Occasionally one is low enough I feel I can wave at them.
On the other hand, I have no idea where there are train tracks. I have gone quite a ways in all four directions. Sometimes, if I am awake in the middle of the night, I can hear a train whistling. It drives me nuts as I have no idea where it is coming from.
-
I do I live by an area where a freight train runs through at night. I usually sleep right through it though.
-
no i dont really hear them. i mostly hear big trucks and they get on my nerves.
-
I live next to a Navy Air Base, so yes I definitely do.
-
I live about 3 miles from the airport and about 4 blocks from the nearest train tracks. So, yes.
-
:dog:We live 6 houses from a railroad track. Here em all the time....AND get stopped by em too. One of the most comforting sounds to me is hearing them going by while it's raining outside...it makes me sleep well too.
-
Well let's see... Live near an Air Force Base... so yup.. we hear the planes. 8)
We live near train tracks... so yup.. we hear the trains go by all the time..
and got stopped by them. 8)
Neither really bothers me... actually I agree with Lorie... the noise is relaxing/helps me to sleep :thumbsup:
:wave:

I've lived with train tracks in my back yard. It's a wonder I can even wake up to an alarm clock because of that. Glad we moved though. And my grandmother lived right across the field from an airport. That was the worst - though they replaced all her windows in her house every so many years since the vibrations from the sound of the planes so close loosened them all up.
-
Yes I do. We are also about 15 miles away. Most times it does not bother us but once in awhile they come close. :)
-
I hear everything where I live. I hear planes, trains, automobiles, fire engines, police cars and ambulances. It is like living outside. Even when my windows are closed I could still hear that noise. But then again, I live in the city.
-
I grew up with nearby train tracks and an airport, so I got so used to both that I didn't even notice sometimes. Tho some airplanes you couldn't help but notice.
Now I live way out in the country with not much noise. But there is a small private airport nearby and they drive me batty!. They come down so close I duck in my home sometimes .... its so loud. I also am one of few people who can say I almost had a crash with small yellow plane as he was coming in and he passed the road i was driving on. 10 seconds different we would have hit! They scare me. :o
-
I only hear planes when they are flying very low, but usually we don't hear them much. I don't think I would mind in the daytime but I don't think I could manage it at night. It must be very hard on people who have to go through that. :peace:
-
Once and a while a plane flies over...it sounds like something is going to bomb our house! Occasionally we hear the whistle of a train far off....mostly just car traffic behind us.
-
live right beside a rail road track so i hear a train everyday,,only once a day luckly, :bunny:
-
Yes, I can hear planes. Apparently I am on the landing pattern from a smaller airport. I have been on my deck on a sunny day and had a shadow go over me because the plane was so low
-
We have a small airport 4 miles north of town. Someone has a small jet that they fly over our house everyday. Don't know who it belongs to. It is loud enough to hear it but not too loud to make alot of noise. Other small planes fly here too but non make the sound the jet does. May God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
Both, every single freakin day!!!!! It gets louder when the skies are clear with the trains!!!!
-
I hear the train all the time, its in my backyard but i am used to it, dont even notice it anymore.
-
I hear both but mostly planes. My house is right on the path for planes. Sometimes it's so loud!
-
Nope to either....they only thing we might hear occassionally is a helicopter flying into a hospital which is about 10 miles from here, they will fly out urgent care patients to St. Louis.
-
We have a train track just across the road,so we hear them all the time.Especially at night at the time,midnight.As for the airport the have one less than 5 miles from our house.We see planes all the time.We have a small airport,but it is busy.
-
I can hear train whistles from far off. And I am going to take this opportunity to share one of my favorite poems:
Travel
The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
P.S. I'm just funny that way.
-
Well, I live near a hospital, so we hear helicopters all the time. Occasionally I hear trains at night but they are a ways away. Normally not planes, though if I'm outside I can.
My friends house can hear all that though. They live near an airport and a train track runs rather close to their property. I'm kinda amazed they can sleep with all that noise.
-
I hear plans and a lot of door openings
-
There is planes passing by all the time where I live, but I seem to only notice them now when I am in deep concentration, such as watching a movie (I hardly ever seem to notice them at other times).
-
I am not far from train tracks so I hear the train. Some times I hear a plain being in the landing path if they come in from this direction. I am about 15 to 20 minutes from airport. west of it.
-
Yep, sure do. I live right by an airport. It's not a big one though, but they do stay fairly busy. It's really neat, I like to watch the planes and helicopters. I don't hear them that much though, because they're not super loud they're the smaller planes. I wish I could hear the trains more though, I love hearing the sound of the train on the tracks and the sound of the whistle in the early morning hours. :D
