    Some airports are located closer to cities downtowns for this reason.

      That’s not very common for a good reason given that airports create a lot of noise pollution.

        Are airports louder than train stations? Near freight trains and air port and the freight trains are much worse for me personally. Though I would hope passenger train systems are designed for less noise.

            Thanks for the data, and yep that seems to be the case that passenger trains are quieter for the people living near a station vs planes taking off and circling a runway.

            Honestly neither bother me too much, but I thinkings a matter of good spacing. No one’s lives 1 mile from the run way or 25 meters next to the tracks from here, which is good thing for both.

            Another to add passenger trains can make simple intercity travel easier, when for planes it’s just not economical.
