Lived near the warwick public library most of my life so it doesn't bother me much. like other stated it's a low thundery sound. If I have the windows open and the TV on if it's a busy day at the airport I turn the volume up a few notches. I have to say it's nothing like when I would visit my grandparents condo on Rt 1 or my BFs house in appanoag hearing the trains go by, shaking the building, the whistling, ooof I'll take the airport any day over trains.
