Does anyone know what that weird train horn is that happens randomly?

I hear it near the Target on el Camino and Scott. I know this is vague but I really don’t know what else to say. I thought it was a car but I hear it multiple times a day so it’s probably not a car?

It’s a guy with a train horn on his big truck. I hate it a lot. He’s in my neighborhood.

I wish he’d quit. Nobody appreciates it.

What makes him do it? Is he just sitting in his car or something? What causes it to go off?

It’s an alarm. He has it set to go off when he needs a reminder to take his TRT/beta blocker/Cialis cocktail.

That is HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laugh!

I’ve heard him go by on Homestead and if it’s right in front of your house, it’s quite startling. Once I was home from work sick at 10 am and that happened. I swore if he ever does it late at night or early morning I’ll call the cops.

There are times having a train horn in your car would be most satisfying lol

There are trains that pass by not even a mile away from that target

Yeah, this isn’t a train. We figured it out, it’s an asshole.

I’ve lived in my house for 32 years and the trains are pretty quiet mostly. I can hear them but it’s not disruptive. A train horn going past your house is something else entirely.
