If people didn’t live in such places then the housing crisis would be much worse. Infact where I live I think main roads/trains are a requirement to get the zoning to build the apartments!
I wonder if sound proofing (the expensive high density kind) might help? Depends if you are renting or not. It might cost a few $10k but could be worth it for QOL.
Sound proofing can totally work, and I actually think all apartments in an apartment building or maybe just all dwelling structures should have an average, min and max noise level in decibels with the windows open.
It is really nice, and sometimes important to be able to get outside air into the home. Noise proofing only works (and it does work with the right windows, doors, floors, ceilings) if the windows and doors are closed. Once you open one even a crack, the noise comes pouring in like high pressure water.
