I need to go to herbal shop because my herbal was drainng off. It is located in Kalibata near the railway. So I walked down the road beside the railway. A train passed by and it blow its horn suddenly. I was quiet surprise and irritate.
The sound feels like blowing my ear. Cars and motorcycles were in line waiting the train to passed. Then, after it passed, the cars and motorcycles were blowing their horns too because some people wanted to cross the road.
I wonder if I lived there, I couldn't make a peace of mind. Those blowing horn could make me feel stressed.

There is a railway crossing a few kilometers away in our city. I rarely hear the horns blow when it speeds through the city, though. I'm sure people who live near it don't notice the sound after a while.

@DaddyEvil there is a rumor here that, a train in the middle of the night is a ghost train. The nearest train station in my place is a Commuter Line, it only operates from 5am -12 pm

@ifa225 Yeah, in the quiet of the night, sometimes I can hear the trains going through my city.

Well not right near it, but a distance away like here. I am about 1 mile from it and I love the sound in the mornings and late nights.

The same thing happened when I lived in a house near the toll road. Often startled by the sound of exploding tires.

There are train tracks in this area, but none nearby. I was surprised one night when I heard a train even with the windows closed. That is usually a summertime or warm weather event when I have the windows open at night

If I have no choice I suppose I would but I will get mad with that noise Having said that I must admit one gets used to noise after a while and in fact it could serve as a lullaby (lol)

@Shivram59 if you have baby crying along with the blowing horns and the chugging train, what do you think it would be?

The place where I stay has a railway station but it isn't that near to my house. I can hear the sound of the train and its horn in winter nights.

@ifa225 No, I don't enjoy the noise of a train as it disturbs my sleep.
