Description
Train Horns are blaring all times of the night, which makes sleep difficult at Artistry Apartments. According to FRA, jurisdictions have the right to establish quiet zones. Due to residentials near by, it would be nice if 65th, 66th, and 67th Streets can be established as a quiet zone from 10-6 pm.

Better sound proof your house.

It sounds like you are new here. Keep the double paned windows closed at night. If you are hot, get a fan. Most trains use a "silent horn". Granted its not actually silent but the noise is reduced compared to their actual horn. By law they have to use their horns 20 secs leading up to the crossing. Unfortunately we are located next to the Amtrak station and 2 crossings, so the noise is inevitable. There are 2-3 trains throughout the weeknights that are jerks and don't follow this rule (use louder horn and honk for what seems like an eternity). If it bothers you enough, try to get video and report it.
We've been here 3 years. You get used to it after the first 3 weeks or so. If you are at one of the apartments near or facing the crossing, talk to the leasing office to see if you can be moved to another apartment. This place is not for light sleepers.

with the middle of the night horn. I won't complain if the rent was only 1000 a month.

Did your landlord tell you about the train ? If not, break the lease and move.
