6. When moving to a new house I lived in an apartment for a short time

The apartment was very cheap because it was like 10 feet from the railroad tracks. We were informed of this defect. The train only came by once a day at 2 am, (Yes, in the morning when most people are asleep) and there was a crossroads there so by law it had to blow its whistle, sometimes. But the crossing gates always clanged and came down while red lights flashed.

After the first couple of nights, I would sleep through it. I didn't even notice it anymore. I surprised myself by not even noticing it after a few nights. My spouse, on the other hand, never got use to it, woke up everytime, even with earplugs and blinds drawn.

Some people are good at ignoring obnoxious and irritating sounds and some not so much

I think loud religious bells should be regulated and controlled. And property values should reflect it. And realestate agents should warn people of the noise defect. Most irritating noises are regulated in cities and towns, so should god worshipping noise signals.
