Owners and renters at Summit at Copper Square have been dealing with the sometimes nostalgic but at times jolting sound of train horns at 3:00am right outside their bedroom windows now for about six months.  Owners have complained that the builder of Summit at Copper Square did not adequately disclose the condition and have threatened (or filed) law suits.

Rumor was that a solution might be coming down the pike and we’re glad to read about it in today’s paper (see http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0616quietzone0616.html).  I for one could sleep through the sound but it definitely deterred at least two prospective renters I had for the building.

I also hear that while some train conductors recognize and comply with the law by “gently” pulling the horn others seem to enjoy laying on it and making a big ol’ racket.  In either case this is some to know about if you are considering renting or buying at Summit at Copper Square high rise and/or Stadium Lofts both in downtown Phoenix.
