How do you two get through public life if a little bit of noise already bothers you? My in-laws live extremely quietly (no trains, no airplanes, maybe one car per hour) and I always feel really uncomfortable there because there are practically no sounds at all. Everyone is just different. I like it when every now and then a plane flies over our house or at night you can hear the freight trains as a soft rustling in the background.
In the world “out there” I tolerate and accept the annoying noise and stink temporarily. If I go out to eat something small with a buddy in the Schanze in summer, the “big” cars blasting down the cobblestones at 50 km/h annoy me enormously. But I know it will be over soon. The soft rustling of the freight trains... I really had to laugh. You can really talk yourself into anything. Or rather you probably have to sometimes... At night I hear quite a few sounds. But they are nature! So, as always, it doesn’t depend on the amount but on the quality of the sound. When the wild geese chat about the latest trends at night here, the crickets chirp and the frogs croak, that is completely different to me than when a freight train blasts romantically past the property every half hour.
We are not bothered by this aircraft noise. You get used to it.
The question I would ask myself before buying a house would be: “Do I have to get used to it? Do I want to get used to it?” Of course, if, for example, you inherit the land and house and your salary situation never allows anything else, then you really have to think about it... Although even then you could think about selling and buying elsewhere. According to your descriptions, you get really good money for it. It’s just a small romantic freight train rustling and/or a gentle breeze from the direction of the landfill. It probably only bothers the very sensitive and thus has no impact on the price.
He has to choose between the railway and the landfill.
Why DOES he have to?! Is someone holding a gun to his head? He wants to have to, yes. But I will definitely not advise him in advance to buy a house between noise and stink. If he has bought it anyway and the damage is done, then of course you have to start talking yourself into it. But now? Now you can still be honest. When I think that the OP will probably spend about 350k all-in for a house in such an “environment,” it makes me sick.
Wow! It’s pretty funny how sensitive they are as soon as they are listed in a land register. These are also the kind of people who run to the doctor for a little tummy ache even though they ate onions the day before.
No no, the emergency doctor is called home. You can’t run to the doctor with severe cramps. I am consistent here, as a man should be. I would almost bet that all those who are “pro-noise & stink,” let’s say, probably live in “similar” situations. And conversely, all those who speak against it live quietly and without constant odor nuisance. That’s quite a statement here on the board... Now some users in the forum are not only told that they can easily buy a house for over half a million with 5k total salary, but now a landfill, a freight train line and a sports airfield are already being portrayed as romantic background scenery with charm. BUT, I’m not getting upset. Everyone does as they think they must. Everything will be fine.
