Kenneth Evans and other logical thinkers like him need to understand one thing, well, actually a lot of things about people like Allen Schultz.
That is they could buy a house anywhere in the world and they would find fault with the location they chose.
If they bought a house that was in the flight path of an already established busy airport, they would be complaining about the noise of the aircraft taking off and landing.
They would want some sort of noise abatement put into effect. No matter what the cost, so long as they did not have to pay for it.
Near a freeway? Put up a sound barrier wall, that may or may not dampen the sound. If the barrier was installed he probably complain that it blocked his view of the countryside or whatever.

Sleepless in Provo

I too lament about the noise caused by trains, especially in the wee hours of the morning. I am usually a sound sleeper, but I can't tell you the number of times this year I have been woken up at 2, 3, or 4 o'clock in the morning by the trains running through the west side of Provo. The railroad lines are at least a mile or more from my house, yet I can still hear them loud and clear. Trains' horns should have lower decibel levels at night in order to protect and safeguard my sleep.
