yes, too many people complain that the trams (streetcars) are too loud, but IMO, the trams can sneak up on you if they don't ring the bell, which is quite a bit more concerning... but the great news is that the relationship with my tram is very simple, I stay off the tracks and the tram won't asset itself when I invade it's territory, I ride my tram through the city and it drops me off in areas I'm not bothered enough to walk. Some cities don't like them because they are loud, those people never ridden a tram in their life.
