I lived near an electric train in Orenco Station in Hillsboro Oregon. The noise, while quieter than diesel is still fatiguing and I think all housing within 1,000 feet should be required to use building materials that keep the interior noise below 60dba, like triple pane windows and acoustic seals on doors.
Once we left, it took weeks for our bodies to relax into the silence. It's not normal to have chronic noise like that and increased our stress. It shouldn't be legal to build buildings without noise protection in place.
