Well I am going to tell trains they can not blow whistles at road/rail crossings even though it is federal law to do so.
oh wait my Name isn't Madison
depends on the day but 1-4 trains a night pass my house about 200 yards away they lay on the horn for about 2 miles
I was just on the Mississippi along highway35 1-4 trains an hour there , I hardly even notice them while sleeping
maybe that it is just such a common thing we got used to it years ago
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm going to blow a siren at midnight and 1 so night workers know when it's lunch time. I applaud u! Residing in a country where we have the freedom to chose where we live no one should have to endure such discrimination. Way to take the bull by the horn instead of just complaining about it. Considering they just started doing it when she moved there or started working night shift I think what they are doing is disgraceful l.

for as long as we have had a volunteer fire department and a siren when they go out on a fire call the siren goes off.
you can alwasy tell when some one new moves to town the complain about the siren always going off
why do we need that
well we though about making all the relators issue a statement that the siren would go off with every fire call to keep outsiders out , but they don't tell people so then they complain and we tell them to move back to Fib-landia where they belong.
Oh new people always complain about the train horn as well , we tell them to get over it and move out as well.
We also tell them to get over the night shooting also.
they are all free to go back where they came from that was soooo much better they decided to leave.

There's a lot of things in life that I don't like, or disrupt my schedule. But they're not discrimination. Here we have a noon whistle and 6 p.m. one. Every town and village does it. When I worked 3rd shift it would wake me sometimes and then I would go back to sleep or not. I didn't let it ruin my day or think I was being discriminated against. While I do feel for her. Like many things in life she would be better off turning it into a positive. Maybe time for a bathroom break and then back to bed.

That's very true! And when depending on nurses to save people's lives, it doesn't matter if they have slept or not. Life is cheap! And they don't even blow the siren here for fires. Every fireman has a radio and a cellphone.

It was started as an air raid siren during the cold war. Having the whistle as an air raid siren during the cold war makes some sense. Blowing it at noon and 1:00 PM has no reasonable association with it being an air raid siren. I suggest you keep digging into the reasons for the whistle sounding. You are not going to get anywhere challenging the practice unless you are willing to do the work.

Have they always blew the air raid siren or did they start it after you moved there? Someone already used that line
