I live by train tracks and love the sound of a train's horn.

Lived in East Nashville since 2003 and LOVE the train horns. They serve a really good reason too, don't you think? We want our Train Horns! If you don't like them, then MOVE!

Even for the longest East Nashville residents, the trains have been here longer than you. For trains to operate safely they use horns, and crossing gates use bells. Many train free (and cheaper) residential areas exist in greater Nashville. Live with the sounds of the city, or live some where else.

Trains need loud horns. That is how we protect children that play on tracks.

I love the sounds of the trains, not only that the sound is meant to alert people to not cross the tracks. I had to Great Aunts crushed in their vehicle because they didn't hear the train coming.

This is a city. A real, living city. Not a suburb, and not Disneyland. Cities depend on frequent, regular flows of people and goods through them, and train sounds are part of those flows. They are part of our American heritage. I do not want trains to have to be quieter and less safe when passing through densely inhabited areas. In every city I have lived, I have heard the sounds of trains, and I like that about East Nashville.

If you're going to buy a house you need to check out the surrounding area for anything that may wake you in the middle of the night,,,,or buy somewhere else!!!

If you don't like the train whistles, move to Hendersonville, most of the true born & raised people from Davidson County have done this to escape taxes that newcomers are escalating.

I don't live near the tracks at the moment in EN, but I've lived near tracks before. Once when I was a kid in a small apartment building literally boarding the tracks and then as an adult near a massive train station in London. Ive never once got upset because the horns were too loud, I simply understood they were part of my landscape and if I had a problem, it was MY choice to leave. It wasn't MY choice to change the laws just because I didn't like the noise. Entitled brats. Good luck with this.

I lived next to the tracks on Straightway for five years. It was the first house I purchased, and I wouldn't have been able to do so if it weren't affordable due to the train. My old street is now unrecognizable with the tall-and-skinnys going up on lots that used to have one house, not four, but this quiet zone petition makes it even more ridiculous. If you live in East Nashville, you're going to hear a train.... the tracks wind through the entire 37206 and 37216 area. Deal with it.

Al love trains and have always love trains. There is a certain beauty when I hear the horns sounding in the distance on a dark winters night. All forms of railroad safety devices should be used, especially for those who have physical impairments.
it's very loud. louder than before
