I'm sick of train horns/whistles

When I was psychotic they used to be deeply intertwined in my delusions.

Now they are just an annoying nuisance. I was just about to fall asleep tonight and all of a sudden “BWAAAAAAA, BWAAAAAAA, BWAA, BWAAAA, BWAAAAA, BWAAAAAA”.

What in the living hell is the darn train having a conniption fit about at freaking midnight?

I hate trains.

Who’s with me!?

The train station is north of town across the bridge in my city so theyre just far away enough that it sounds peaceful. Police sirens get to me because I hallucinate police sirens in my positive symptoms

There’s no trains close to my house, but I do hear a lot of planes flying above. Very loud.

I lived in a small town on a bank of a river. Half way down the bank was a flat area that had railroad tracks. Unlike your experience, I loved to listen to the trains rumble through. There was no need for whistles and horns. They also reminded me of my love of Pullman sleeper cars that I experienced as an infant. Sleeping with the rumble and sway of the train was a real treat.

I love the sound of the rumble of trains on their tracks and their whistles. Very relaxing sound.

Now compare that to the sound of a plane: very irritating.

Having once lived by train tracks that’s a sound you never get use to.

I can relate, I lived for a while next to some tracks and at 2 in the morning the horn would go off and up I would come out of bed. Scared the hell out of me the first time.

I grew up most of my childhood with the train tracks running 50 yards behind our apartment. We got used to the horns after a few months and for the next 8 years it never really bothered us.

I like trains but that location was just shitty.
