Most of the time I don't even hear the trains. There are 4 an hour in both directions, except in the evenings and on Sundays, when there are only 3 an hour. But because they're either just departing from the nearby station or slowing down on approach, they are not going fast and therefore not particularly noisy. The most irritating thing used to be the warning signal of the crossing, until they toned it down a bit after complaints by the neighbourhood. One street was functioning as a kind of ear trumpet - with an opera singer living at the end... (He seems to have been the one who sabotaged the signal bell on occasion, but I don't know this officially, of course.)
