I mean, it's comical how much he looks like the type to complain about that
Bunch of old rich folks buys expensive apartments built next to the Sydney Opera House (which also hosts outdoor concerts on the forecourt) complains about "noise". >

I used to work at an airport that was built during ww1 every single house in the whole suburb was built after the airport.
Get noise complaints daily.
There are no planes before 7am and none after 8pm, you knew the deal when you moved in. This is your fault. >

Airport in my city has had a planned extra runway for something like 60 years. People have since bought and built under the flight path. They are upset that there property will be affected and lose value. Ignoring the fact that they got it cheap as it was under a future flight path >

Normally I'd hate people like that, but the way you tell it, nothing had changed in 60 years. With no further information, I suspect this is a Hitchhiker's Guide situation:

“But the plans were on display…”   
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”  
“That’s the display department.”  
“With a flashlight.”  
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”  
“So had the stairs.”  
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”  
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” >

My old boss moved into a new build condo on the biggest party street on the island. He has lived on the island all his life, and it has been party central all his life. He knew what he was getting in to. Yet he and his ghastly second wife are still trying to impose noise restrictions on the bars that have been there forever.  
Go fuck your hat, Greg. >

"go fuck your hat" i actually love this, im going to start using this now. thank you >

Reminds me of people who move next to airports and then complain about airplane noise. >

Or people who move next to concert venues and complain of noise and traffic >

That makes me think of people who move into the city and complain about all the people around >

Or people who move out of the city and complain about tractors on the road and the occasional smell of fertilizer. >

Or the people who move in next to a college campus and complain about all the house parties, noise, and drunk people. >

Or the people who move next to the coast and complain about hurricanes >

Or move underwater and complain that they’re always wet and can’t breathe. (That happens, right?) >

Or move to the middle of nowhere and complain about how far away everything is. >

Or move to one of those golf courses that have houses lining the fairways and complain about golf balls breaking stuff >

Or move to Florida and complain about the heat. >

Rich guy moved up from London and built his retirement house right next to my joinery shop. From his property you can read clearly a very large sign that says ‘Joinery Workshop’ about 8 feet away from his front door. I rent a building that has been used continuously for commercial purposes since the 1920s when it was built. He is threatening to take me to court because of the machine noise. What does he expect me to do; nibble my timber down to size? It is a bit stressful- especially this mention of court - but I am trying not to worry about it too much as I do a lot in the community and have done so for years and have had nothing but support so far and he is an entitled arsehole. But where do these people get off feeling they can show up somewhere new and begin to dictate terms to all and sundry. >

If he makes any moves on his threats, then take your story to the local news. Pull on some of them heartstrings: Tell them how he's threatening you, a humble small business owner, by ruining your livelihood. Dig out all of the info of your building to show it's long history of business brought to your town. 
It might be a bad idea for all I know... But man would it make for a great story. >

Donald Trump tried this on a Scotsman. Did not turn out in his favour. Forbes's farm, which is said by Trump to be in a state of disrepair

Edit: The last post I made suggesting Trump was a crook got me a message from Redditcares asking if I was suicidal. I suspect this time it will be suicidal, homicidal, and a pedophile grooming my dog. You know the truth. >

Every abusive use of Reddit Cares is a badge of honor, and it means that you really got under the skin of some fragile man-baby. >

I did report it, don't know if that works. They should at least provide the message that reports it. >

Reddit really dislikes misuse of the Cares feature and will ban anybody misusing it like that if reported, so you're in luck. >

I don't know about in luck, but good to know something might happen. I also don't have any proof that's the post that triggered the Cares message, but I can't think of any other one that would lead someone to think I was suicidal. >

Perfection! >

Saw a TikTok or something recently where this guy was checking out this absolutely beautiful house, that was listed for incredibly cheap.  
He took the viewer on a tour, and it really was an amazing house.  He kept wondering like WTF is wrong w this house that it's sat on the market for this long and nobody is buying it?
Then he went outside....
Train tracks literally right next to the house, with a train going by as he was recording.  
Even without the horn, it was incredibly loud. >

Just pasting my comment from below.
You get used to the sound, I lived with train tracks behind my house, amd a freeway just next to it.
If you got nice insulation and a house made out of brick, you're gonna be just fine.*
You could feel the train passing by, but they changed the tracks and we added a wall in our backyard next to the tracks, you don't feel anything anymore.
*thanks for the correction, my English was lost. >

Insulation* >

I live in a trailer 30 yds from a train track and maybe less than 1/4 mile from the highway. Highway is worse but neither are a real issue. >

Live in a rural area and this is like 75%+ of the people that move in from the city. My favorite complaints:

Raking your yard is too much work we shouldn't have to do that that town should (often followed by them cutting down the beautiful old trees in their yard)
They shouldn't be able to how cows this close to town I can smell the manure sometimes
How am I supposed to get my car out of the driveway after it snows? They only plow the streets
They shouldn't be able to drive farm equipment on the roads, they go too slow
They need to do something about all the wildlife. I saw coyotes in town and I'm afraid to let my cat out.
The trains stop at the grain elevators too much. >

The tree one we had.  Neighbor behind us moved in a couple years after us and complained about the 25 year old tree on our property that had been planted near the property line and she didn’t like cleaning up the pine needles.  She would only accept immediately chopping it back to the property line, which would have killed it, or cutting it down.  If you don’t want trees around don’t buy a backyard completely shaded by one and expect other people to fix it. >

In a lot of places, your neighbor would have been within her rights to cut the tree branches at the property line.
I had a neighbor who did that once to a tree planted near our property line by the previous owner. I didn't want to cut the tree down, so he cut off every branch that crossed the line. Didn't kill the tree but it looked like hell on his side of the tree. 
I didn't care. I didn't have to look at it. 😂 >

Usually you can only do that if you don’t kill the tree in the process.  That’s the difference.  If there’s a few branches you can cut them, but you can’t destroy someone else’s property. >

You are also not allowed to throw away the cut branches away without permission as they are still the tree owner's property. >

You know a lot about tree law it seems. >

We had a lady move from the city into our rural farm town and complain about the smell of cows, horses on the road, and people not speaking English. 
We celebrated when she left. >

Sounds like Florida.
There are people who moved near the Miami metro rail tracks which is elevated heavy rail that runs every 10 minutes that was built in the '80s are suing over train noise and these people just moved to Florida, People moved near the CSX and FEC extremely heavy used freight lines and commuter rail on the East Coast of Florida who recently moved to Florida and are suing over train noise. >

Any house effected by train/aeroplane noise is likely significantly cheaper than other houses so it's a bit rich to move there and then complain/sue >

If you are not familiar with Florida and everybody moving to Florida, they are building luxury condos multi-million dollar condos next to Metro Stations so that people can get to downtown since there is no parking downtown and the only way to get around downtown is on an automated people mover or you sit for an hour in traffic.
The same people demanding condos be built at a metro station are bitching about the noise and the PA system at the metro stations [loud alert tone] "a northbound orange line train" and so on In English and Spanish and Creole. Then the train pulls in.
So build a metro system in the 1980s, demand multi-million dollar condos In 2015 be built next to the metro station because traffic is atrocious downtown and then bitch about the condos being so close to the metro station and the metro station and the metro trains.
BTW several American cities are just the opposite, New York apartments cost more that are within a block or so of an underground station, unless you're living on Miami Beach condos cost more in the Brickell area of Miami and wynwood area of Miami where they are building rapid rail or had rapid rail since the 1980s.
Welcome to Florida >

Would be funny if they said "OK, we'll close the metro station". Good luck getting anywhere now. >

Actually that did happen in Coral Gables and South Miami, Those two cities bitched about train brakes and loud PA systems. The county said okay we will run express trains after 10:00 p.m. that only stop at those stations once an hour... Immediately that turned into "our taxes pay for these stations" how dare you disenfranchise the poor workers who clean people's condos and work in grocery stores and all of that stuff. >

Tbf those are probably different groups voicing those complaints
Group a is the ones who hate the train sounds and don't want them stopping there.
Group b is the ones that were putting up with it and using the trains, or at least understood why they were there, and only started to complaining once they were taken away >

Well then there is also group c that's in my county a semi rural county in Florida.
"Express buses to Fort Myers and Palm Beach would bring in undesirable people and put your grandparents and grandchildren at risk"... >

Or people who move right beside a garbage dump and complain of the smell ( this is a thing in my city) 😂 >

Or people who move next to a high school and complain about the traffic congestion every morning and afternoon. >

This one is a bit more forgivable. There really shouldn't be traffic around a school unlike trains around a train station or rubbish in a rubbish dump >

What? How do you suppose people get to and from the school?  Magic? >

Americans discover public transport >

For 5 year olds. >

The school bus, also if you live in a safe neighborhood you can send your kids to walk. I went to school by myself every day in the 5th grade since it was nearby, and walked home through all of middle school. I took the bus home in high school. Other parents would sometimes have their kids come with me since they didn’t feel safe sending their kids out alone >

My grandparents lived right next to a train track and the sounds of trains always helps me go to sleep. >

I rented at a place right next to train tracks for a while and I got used to the trains fairly quick. It just kinda becomes background noise like the HVAC system kicking in. >

Yeah same here. It’s been 6 months and I’m used to them. Except when work is getting done, and they literally ring this bell to alert all workers a cart is passing through. It is crazy loud and obnoxious especially at 2 am haha >

I grew up on a farm.  Our closest neighbor was about a mile and a half away.  He was a nice farmer in his mid 60s who had worked his farm his entire life. In addition to the typical crops he had Angus beef cattle and about a 40 pig operation. Some urban idiot bought land directly across the road from his farm and immediately started filing complaints about the smell. This was not any sort of huge agricultural complex. This was a farm that had not really changed since the 50s, but that jerk managed to shut him down completely. He had 400 acres but he was no longer allowed to have any animals on the land that he and his father had farmed since the mid-30s.
If you don’t like the smell of a farm then don’t move next to a working farm. >

Must have had some wild infractions if he was able to shut him down. >

Had a guy who moved into an apartment next door to an active, 120+ year old church that's been doing noontime bell ringing since before 1900. Spent 10 years bitching to the church, city hall and anyone else he'd catch the ear of about it. I think he finally moved, but I'm an asshole and kind of hope he died (you'd've had to have listened to his rant; he was an utter dick; the bells were far from the only things in the world that he was unhappy with). Ironically, about 5 years after he stopped bitching, the church replaced the bells with much, much quieter electronic chimes - almost inaudible beyond about 500' (152 m). He'd probably still bitch about 'em. >

Noon? Who complains about noises at noon? >

There's dozens of us daysleepers! Dozens! >

I'm a daysleeper myself, but daysleepers respect that it is active time for the world and know better than to complain >

People moving next to something they don’t like, and then complaining they live next to something they don’t like, happens often enough that there’s a legal term for it: coming to the nuisance. >

What on earth made him think trains stopped at 11.30? That has never been the case. >

This kind of BS killed nightlife in DC. People move in next to bars and start having babies and expect the bars to keep quiet because their little-ones need to go to sleep at 8PM. It's ridiculous and the city catered to it. >

Pretty sure it was the trains catching fire that did that. They haven't ran to 2am since the emergency repairs that summer. >

We moved into a place near Vancouver. The rental office pointed out the active rail line and suggested it may make a little noise, and that's why it's $100 cheaper a month to rent (4%) for its size. 
Yeah, no. They don't just move through the area. By comparison, the (very active) subway station nearby is nothing. The blowing of a 100db whistle four times with every passing train in either direction is a huge issue for a line that seems to run a train 4-5 times an hour, 24 hours a day. There are 5 different organizations, some of them international, using that stretch of track. 
It's not a noise people can expect to understand on paper. It's a "hearing projection required if you're not indoors" noise that is airline-engine loud. 
It takes a LONG time to get used to. >

Same type of bitch that moves in next to a venue, then gets it shut down. >

I live fairly close to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.  It's amazing how many people move into the hills surrounding the stadium, then complain about the noise from games and concerts, heavy traffic when an event is going on, and the weekend fireworks scaring their pets.
No sympathy.  Get to know something about the area BEFORE you move. >

We were looking at a new home lot and right behind it, was a baseball field.  I knew that was going to be a problem but the salesman was all like, "Nah, they shut down early, you'll never hear it."
We didn't go back there. >

Realtors lie all the time. Things like "oh the airport is going to close" when the house is near a small municipal airport. Also if you are considering a house near a regional or municipal airport remember, if you are in line with the runway expect elevated led levels. This should hopefully change soonish with the phase out of leaded fuel but the contamination will stick around for quite a while. >

We have lots of people like this in my hometown if you replace trains with Navy jets. >

This is a perfect r/nottheonion post. This 100% feels like an onion article >

People who moved next door to a pub complained about them showing football and having live music, ended up getting and injunction banning both and limiting opening times because of the noise of people leaving the car park. almost destroyed the business. 
Fuck these people >

Did this dude really think that trains go to sleep at night >

He's been watching too much Thomas the Tank Engine.
(children's TV show about trains) >

Some lawyer built a house on our local golf course. Right at a spot where everyone slices drives into the woods. Stupid dickhead was bitching to the course, the golfers, the town and everyone within earshot within a month of moving in. Even filed motions to try and force the course into a redesign. The course is 50+ years old.  I hit an extra shitty ball over there on purpose most times. >

Send your location so I can send you a box of balls. >

They gotta be all scratched up worthless precepts and noodles and shit tho. The guy fancies himself a bit of a pro (he's horrible). >

Jagged edges and covered in dog shit. Got ya. >

There is a new subdivision the next town over from me right next to the train tracks.  Someone in the new houses had some political connections so he talked the commissioners into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on upgrading the rail crossings so that a quite zone could be established.   Now the neighbors complain about the bell that rings at the intersection. >

Gets into the ocean "There's sharks in here!" >

I used to live near a high school. People would move into the neighborhood and then complain there were teenagers round. The only way some people know how to deal with their stupidity is to share it with other people. >

In the 1980s my school sold the land leading up to the school to build homes and the purchasers of the homes turned around and forced the school to heavily restrict how many people could actually drive to the school. Everyone had to find someone to carpool in with. They had a car counter by the entrance and if we went over the allowed number they would allegedly shut the school down. >

Omg this is constant in my city. It’s soooo annoying! People move beside the tracks and whine about how no one cares that they experience noise. No sh*t Karen, you bought a house with single pane windows across from a rail yard but still the surprised pikachu face? I live across from a noisy crossing, and I wouldn’t dare complain because 1- they were here first and 2- that’s why it cost less. >

Dude’s head looks like he grew up next to a nuclear power plant >

Oh no, he "Slammed" the companies! My god, when will the violence end? >
