Noise pollution.
This might be one of the rare times I'd actually feel sorry for someone who would happen to live by a setup like this.

Oh wow. I see the point, it's like the stations that have an automatic loud speaker that say "Train approaching. Please stay behind the yellow line." Over and over as the train blasts through. However, that's the NEC where trains go high speed. This is Metra... nevermind. It's in Illinois. There's tons of idiots. Not to offend, I do see a lot sometimes that makes me wonder how some people can legally be allowed to walk or drive.

The signs should just be the only thing. The loud speaker is a bit much for me. Heck, the bells could annoy you...



Just goes to show it can be annoying enough with just bells...

Cheers,
Joshua

I already hate the WCH Electronics, no need for the "Danger" signs and sounds.

OK... so they couldn't somehow program that loudspeaker to stop when both trains aren't moving?

Now that I think of it I might remember a speaker at Maple ave. in Dallas TX when it got upgrade and it was a female voice that Said ( estimating ) : " Train approaching, get off the tracks ".
