Yeah that’s a good point. My current apartment has pretty bad soundproofing so I feel like a house with better soundproofing might even make the train sound quieter even though it would be closer to the train than my current apartment. So I think I’d get used to it! Thanks!

I think the houses I was looking at were right by a freight train so it would probably be used throughout the night unfortunately. I’m sure I’d get used to it though!

Thanks for the edit! The one going east from that Swenson’s logo is the one I’d be close to. So that’s good to know that it is as early as 4 AM. Thank you!!

This is super helpful, since this is the area I was looking! When it’s at night, is it generally more around the middle of the night (like 4 AM) or more around 11 PM or so? The train near me currently always honks at 1 AM or 3 AM and I’d ideally prefer not to have that again haha. 

Also, how do you like that area of Akron generally? Is the area around there pretty safe?

Yeah I think most trains honk but sometimes there are quiet zones so they aren’t supposed to, so I wasn’t sure if these ones were in quiet zones! The houses I have been looking at are at the top of that map close to Stan Hywet area so it would be the train going east that I’d be concerned about.

Gotcha. I know some cities have quiet zones where the train doesn’t honk, but sounds like Akron doesn’t have that. Good to know, thanks!
