Actually, SMART trains will be amazingly quiet. However, railroad rules require trains to sound their horns where the tracks intersect with road crossings, and those horns will be the most significant noise impact of the project. To alleviate that impact, SMART will build the safety infrastructure to allow local jurisdictions to create “quiet zones” at many crossings. Quiet zones are crossings where – because of added lights, gates, medians or other safety measures – trains are not required to sound their horns. For details, see White Paper No.
