Posted May 8, 201510 yr Do the trains and container ships rolling (floating) through Ohio City/Tremont wake anybody else up? Like freaking clockwork around 4:20am a blaring horn from from the flats wakes me up - likely the same ship. It's incessant for a couple minutes. I lived downtown for a few years and never had this much trouble sleeping through the night. The wife suggested melatonin. I suggested :drunk::drunk:

I suggested :drunk::drunk: I'm in the warehouse district right on the river and every morning the ships and trains are blowing their horns. After nearly 4 years, I'm used to it now. But it's definitely happening lol
May 8, 201510 yr ^ I hear the ships horns from Detroit Shoreway, and I LOVE it. Such an awesome feature of living on a big body of water
May 9, 201510 yr I hate those damn train horns! I've lived in Shaker/Shaker Sq. for the majority of my life and the train horns and whistle still annoy me! :whip:
May 9, 201510 yr For three years I lived in Berea and just 1,000 feet from three closely separated crossings with 100+ trains a day. The first night, I couldn't sleep at all. After a few months, I went to house-sit for my parents in Aurora and spent the night. I couldn't sleep because it was TOO QUIET -- so I had to turn the TV on with the volume up and then I fell asleep. Now I live in Lakewood, 10 houses from the tracks and up five floors with a direct line of sight to one of Lakewood's 27 crossings. I sleep right through the train horns although if one train is running slowly and the wind is coming strongly from the direction of the tracks, I will wake up. It actually helps to have loud noises occurs regularly and frequently. If it seldom happens, I can see why it would be a nuisance. But if the sound has been there before you, there's a legal term called "moving to the nuisance" which means its only a nuisance because your ear came to be nearby. :) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

May 9, 201510 yr I'd gladly trade you some good ole boat and train noises for this.....which is a sound I can only describe as 40 velociraptors fighting to the death every morning.
May 10, 201510 yr The ship horns bother me most. It sounds like they are in my backyard. I've been in this place about 6 months and haven't gotten used to it yet, though I don't know how often the shops were floating by in the dead of winter. I can deal with consistent noise. It's the once a night events that bug me. Maybe we'll get a fan or something for some white noise during the night.

It's the once a night events that bug me. Maybe we'll get a fan or something for some white noise during the night. Infrequent noise is tough to sleep through. A fan is a nice sound, but then I find I'm straining to hear through the fan for any non-fan noises! It takes training your brain to accept the infrequent sound.

Seems as though once I gave up coffee (for the most part) I'm a lighter sleeper than I was before. If one of the kids goes to the bathroom, in the middle of the night, I hear it two floors down.
