Currently living in a unit flanked by Richmond Road and Morningside rail line. It is as noisy as hell!
I've read many others posted reviews and think that they must be written by Morningside property merchants! Either that, or they have scored a property that does have excellent sound proofing, they never open doors and windows or are possibly even deaf.

I am referring to a particular spot along Richmond Road, four (4) minute walk from the station, whose aspect is directly in line with road and rail. The location of the unit is at that sweet point where the suburban trains begin to brake as they approach the station and Morningside platform. The location also coincides with where cars, trucks and bikes brake to negotiate the corner on Richmond Road.

As it turns out, this particular unit is also where the mechanical garage door, directly beneath the main bedroom, is located. Each time one (1) of the sixteen residents departs or enters, the noise from the mechanical door reverberates with amplified glee into that place of refuge and through the entire unit. The garage traffic exits begin at 5am and can go into the early morning. The majority of returns between 5 - 7pm. With this cacophony, its not surprising that the planes above don't bear mentioning...yeah I know, I just did.

Like they say, Location, location , location and this is not the location to be if you like to keep your doors and windows open to allow fresh air to flush through your living area, rely less on aircon and the associated cost in running it, value quiet and like to listen to the TV.

However, on the positive.
If you are one that like city sounds, suburban orchestrated noise, coal dust (its on the verandah!), running your aircon, reading subtitles while watching TV and like to know that everyone made it safely home each day then this is the Place for you!

As the Real Estate Manager Agent Xpressed, when I listed the sources of my distress, do your homework before you move in.
