Downtown San Jose residents may soon get relief from blaring train horns

To stop blaring train horns from waking San Jose residents at night, a “quiet zone” proposed by city leaders could be created as early as November.

According to San Jose Councilmember Raul Peralez, the city submitted a Notice of Intent to designate a partial quiet zone around crossings from Horning Street to North Montgomery Street from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
