My house is about 15 meters away from the railway tracks. And the train frequency in this region is very high. I do not have issues with the train noise made due to the trains traveling, and I was aware of the fact while purchasing my house.
However, when these trains start honking, it's a nightmare. Honking has gone up recently and goes on throughout the day.
I have considered my options, like soundproofing my rooms, but then, my house is open on 3 and a half sides. Soundproofing would cut out ventilation completely. And if I keep any window open, train horn sounds would be severe. To add to my woes, I need to work from home and have 4-5 hours of calls...
Now wondering if there is any authority I can approach to, to lower/reduce Train honking in this residential area...
