One makes very little noise, the other makes so much noise that dogs either shit themselves or attack their neighbors.
I'm not exactly a fan of any of it, whether it be EVs or trains, but it really is a pain to try to comfort a shivering dog that's about ready to shit himself or kill the neighbor's dog when a train passes.
This sounds more like a freight train. Many modern light commuter trains are quieter than an average SUV. The rail line could also have sound barriers installed if noise is still an issue.
Guess you missed the memo, trains legally have to have super loud horns for train/road intersections.
Have you heard a train horn lately? You're probably used to it. Now imagine what a dumb (or even smart) dog thinks when hearing a train horn...
Our dog both damn near shit himself and almost attacked another dog barely am hour ago after he heard a train horn.
Some cities allow trains to refrain from horns within city limits and instead the barrier makes a more localized dinging. I live near a major rail interchange and they rarely every honk their horns, oftenly only using a short warning horn if needed.
When I lived rurally trains with horns were far more common. On a human note I'd rather hear a train horn occasionally than hear constant traffic noise. I get how thats harder to manage with a dog but perhaps consistent training could lessen their response to horns.
Yeah, our little adopted stray fella Brownie apparently came from out in the country somewhere away from trains.
He's generally a really good dog, almost exceptional really, all things considered. But super loud noises still make him nervous..
