Have been to a friend's condo @ tanah merah, the train noise was unbearable. esp when the train heading twds expo:doh: :scared-1:
If there will be a solution, isn't now an opportunity to buy these condos as their px has been badly affected by train noise..
no lah, their hearing already damaged by MRT noise.Quote:

They can only hear high prices offered to them :)
Wow, this post election spells wonders. They are looking into MRT noise finally. :) good for those whose properties are near MRT tracks.
They say they will do something but seriously, how much can be done? Very limited, isn't it? Sound is not single directional so blocking one direction means no more sound? They say they'll do something about it and at most only reduce the sound to a more bearable decibel but still irritating. :D
It's a good effort finally since Singapore always claim world class transport system but other countries install noise barriers yet Singapore did nothing.
Must live up to your claim, LTA! :D
Maybe because Lui TY taking train himself to gain a better understanding so implement such measures? That Education minister also going to visit several schools to gain more on ground understanding... think everything is becoming more positive!!! :cool:Quote:

and when it is not so noisy anymore, perhaps property price very rise.
Then those people will get free ride to extra profits, courtesy of rest of population.:)

Don't worry lah... LTA won't raise transportation prices in the name of doing up this noise thing. People unaffected will surely make lots of noise then got a different type of noise to handle. Even if there's transportation price hike, it will disguise with some other compelling reasons and not this noise thing. :oQuote:

The design of the semi tunnel at Bishan MRT station is 45 degrees and the sound bounces of the walls of the MRT station into Blk 503.....
This is much worse than other areas next to MRT tracks or stations.
can HDB experts check whether Blk 503 prices is lower than other blocks further away from the sound?Quote:
