I actually found it relaxing, as did my brother (who lives with us) and my sister (who lives elsewhere in TV). We think it is because we grew up in an area where we could sometimes hear a train off in the distance.

My husband hated it. I don't think the sound bothered him, per se. He just felt like he paid a lot of money for that house and he shouldn't have to hear noise.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, eh?
