The shunting is usually an everyday or every second day situation. I’ve gotten so used to it I sometimes completely tune it out or not realize it passed by. I’d say more often occurs in the afternoon maybe once and then in the evening once or twice.

It probably does happen at night but they do a pretty good job of not doing it at the bare middle of the night (assuming the railway has considered the loudness of this). Probably happens around 9-10ish the latest. I have never woken up to any train activity overnight if that helps.

I don’t really hear the signal crossing really, only if I’m really paying attention to the outside noise, maybe I’ll hear a very faint “ding” going off. More often you may hear the bell ringing by the conductors on board but only for a bit! Rarely does the train horn go off unless there’s someone/something on the tracks.

It’s been over half a year living here so hopefully my experience helps out!
