About four years ago we rented a place in Chatham next to an open field where horses grazed. So wonderful, so bucolic, until the evening trains ran constantly blowing their loud whistles! The back of the house vibrated a little bit with each passing train.

The next day we hopped into the car to check out where the tracks were and were very surprised to see how close they were. They say some people get used to the loud whistle noise in the middle of the night, but my husband and I said we'll look elsewhere in TV for a home in a quiet area. Stay away from 301. That's where the trains run to and fro, if you can't take the whistles in the middle of the night!
