Well, they registered levels of noise higher than the safety margin in people’s backyard during the test phase… So yeah, there a pretty good reason to complain when you have to hear that every 4 minutes…
Faisant référence à des sons captés pour en mesurer les niveaux dans Pointe-Saint-Charles mercredi, notamment dans La Presse, il évoque « des pics atteignant 75 décibels, alors quela santé publique recommande quel’on ne dépasse pas 55 décibels […]. Onest au-delà de ce quiest raisonnablement acceptable ».
I would also ask you to point out where I said that cars were any better… Although let’s be clear, cars produce the same level of noise at speeds/RPM that are of no concern in urban areas, which is not the case for the REM as it produces that noise in urban areas.

Cars are equally loud and even more pollution, we should never have to endure more than 60db. https://www.berlin.de/umweltatlas/en/traffic-noise/noise-pollution/1993/map-description/ If we build more elevated trains, the needs for Cars is reduced and we could move the train to the ground where right now a lot of Streets/Stroads are. And those trains/trams are way quiter than cars https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003682X21003285
Current numbers vs a study from 1993.

Doesn’t the REM follow the 30, over the Champlain, then shunt over to the train tracks that are parallel to the Bonaventure?
Those are already very noisy areas, no?
And the REM is still noisier than what people were already used to.
People are complaining in Griffintown, Pointe-Saint-Charles ans l’Île-des-sœurs.
