That's a little what it feels like to live in Salem near the railroad after a while. I remember after I moved futher South, I actually missed the noise.

It was amazing the evolution of being woken up and irritated by that horn, until the point that you would truly never hear it. After a year or so, I would be on the phone, and people would say "is that a train driving by??" and I realized I no longer even noticed.
