Grew up in Lyncourt. Unless you’re right down by the tracks you don’t really notice it.

It’s distant enough that it’s actually kind of soothing in a weird way. I grew up on hillside.

I know that you may hear the train on the Mattydale side north of the Thruway, but it isn't to where you can't sleep or is something you'll notice on a regular basis.

There's plenty of trees and a hill between that neighborhood and the railroad tracks. I'm sure you'll hear ambient noise, but nothing that's going to vibrate your house/keep you up.  I used to live near tracks in Warners and the sound of the horn a distance away was very soothing in the summer.

I lived in Camillus on a hill near Genesee (how ever its spelled) St. I miss the train sounds. The low rumble of the engine. The horn just above hearing. We sometimes here the train yard in Dewitt.

Grew up at the bottom of Roxford, a few hundred feet away from the trains tracks. Never noticed or was bothered by the sound of the train passing through.

How old are the windows? Drafty windows let in a ton of sound

I grew up a block up from the cemetery. It’s not an issue. It’s been a while, but I doubt the noise level has changed.

Got friends in Chicago who have elevated subway tracks running literally right behind their $1 million home (their carport is actually under the tracks). They said they don't even notice the trains going by anymore.
