What the hezzel??!!
It's the effing Metro train!!! We are so close to the metro that I can hear it in my room! I never really noticed it until everything was quiet and I was trying to fall asleep my first night. It comes by every 12 minutes. Some trains are louder than others. Most of them are pretty quiet, but every once and a while there is a doozy. Thankfully it doesn't go all night. This is a major flaw of my wonderfully perfect apartment. I think I can get over it though. (After all I must.) I bought ear plugs last night and although the whole earplug experience was weird (I'm sure that anyone who has worn earplugs knows what I'm talking about), it helped a lot.
So maybe we are a little too close to the Metro...
There is always a price for convenience. Heh.

Oh no! I hope the earplugs work.
You'll probably get used to it, though I havent' gotten used to the city sounds yet and it's been over a year.
Earplugs rock. I wear them when I play my drums, but the are weird.
That sucks! You are right; good things always seem to come with a price. Maybe that's why the rent was cheap? Well hopefully you can get used to it or tune it out or something. Just keep thinking about those lovely hardwood floors! :)
You might find that you start to like it! My sister right by an El line in Chicago and the trains go by every 7 minutes or so -- something like that. When I first stayed at her place, I noticed it all the time. This last time, I kind of liked it and didn't notice it most of the time.
I miss thunderstorms. :(
Sleeping with earplugs sucks. :(
You will get used to it I promise. If you move again, you will miss those sounds. I am so happy you have your own place. Post pictures soon!!! xoxo
