In the house I lived it was not debunked. It was fact. The caltrain blasted it's horn hourly (or more) 24/7 within earshot of my house. I could not sleep with my window open and often slept with ear plugs even with the window closed. I get you might be tempted to spout generic statistics, but I can tell you without a doubt it was ear blistering loud up close, and sleep disturbing even 2 blocks away.
Also for what it's worth you have no idea if it's good or bad faith.
- hamdingers 11mo agoSo you would have preferred a roughly 12 lane freeway 2 blocks from your house to move the same number of people?
- maerF0x0 11mo agoPerhaps, but more likely I would have preferred regulating the blasting of that damn horn.
- hamdingers 11mo agoThere are regulations, encourage your local government to establish a quiet zone if that's truly your issue with the train. https://railroads.dot.gov/railroad-safety/divisions/crossing-safety-and-trespass-prevention/train-horn-rulequiet-zones https://railroads.dot.gov/railroad-safety/divisions/crossing...
