I really love the sound of the horns, makes me feel like I am close to Grand Central in Manhattan.

The horns have been absolutely insane lately. We moved to the area about 4 months ago not knowing about the train horn when we signed our lease. At first it was terrible, but then, like yourself, we noticed them far less often. The past few mornings have been infuriating. Crazy loud, persistent train horns at 4am on.
I read that there was a project planned for earlier this year that would put an end to the horns, that has now been delayed due to the pandemic.
I just wonder why it was toned down through the summer & is now all of a sudden loud again??

Yes, this is absolutely ridiculous. The city "has" a plan to make this a quiet zone, but they are dragging their feet and have been for the last two years. Time to vote the city council out and vote in people who wil fully address the issue.

Could we please have someone from the city respond to these comments on this forum? This is absolutely unacceptable. Emeryville residents are sick and tired of having to put up with this excessive noise.

WHERE ARE CITY OFFICIALS ON THIS RESPONSE?!

Are there any positions/insights on the hotels and how they are addressing the problems of excessive train noise??

If we can leverage local business, perhaps with their weight being thrown in and the damage it certainly must be doing to their businesses perhaps city officials will finally listen. It's unacceptable that the city nor its officials have responded to ANY of these complaints/comments.

Yeah this is BS. The horn blasting is ridiculous. It;s beyond excessive. Why can't the city get its $hit together and address this? This has to be one of the most useless city councils in the Bay Area. If the City of SF can have quit train zones all through 4th and King, how come Emeryville can't? Get it together!

Thank you for reporting.

The City has a capital project that is in design to improve signaling at the railroad crossings that will allow the City to apply for a Quiet Zone approval. This will minimize train horns.
