The German blogger makes a great point (I didn't read the whole thing) -- grade-level systems in the US make huge amounts of unnecessary noise! Ding-ding-dinging street gates in some cases, horns, announcments at stations...it would drive me nuts living near one of these lines. Some use strobe lights (!) at night. Except for the announcements, these are all due to US liability law...every agency has to cover its ass. The US sucks in this regard.
