How often do you hear trains roll by from where you live? Here...about twenty times a day.

We are are a few miles from a major east-west freight line.

    Never. The nearest railroad track is over 25 miles away.

    My problem isn't trains rolling by. My problem is regular automobile traffic. I'm close to a major street.

    I do not hear trains and I miss it.  I grew up hearing them all the time.  Where I lived the longest I only heard the 3AM train in the distance.  Most mornings I heard it.  There are trains in South Florida but I've never seen one anywhere close to me.  I cross one when I drive to my mom's.

    Half-hourly during the daytime, more frequently during peak commuter times. I'm on one in the morning, another in the evening - we're about a half mile from the Gawler Central line.

    Never. No tracks in my town. 

    Growing up we lived 2 blocks away from the tracks. I did not even notice the noise then. As an adult going back home to visit the noise was very annoying.

    The closest railway station is about a mile away.  Occasionally, I hear the train whistle, but it's rare.  Like Zach, I live on a very heavily-traveled street with a fire house, hospital and police station nearby, so there's plenty of noise from cars, trucks and sirens.

    If the wind is right, I hear a train whistle once in a while. I'm not even sure how close the tracks are.
