I lived next to the El (and nearly under it) for 15 months. Yes it was loud, but I got used to it. My bedroom was midway between the front and back of the apartment, so I was not right up agianst the tracks. I actually enjoyed the rumbeling sound, it reminded me of distant thunder right before a storm. Plus, I always knew right when my visiting friends would arrive at the front door.
The living room at the front of the building was actually the loudest room in the apartment with the windows open, becuase the building across the street was by chance acustically perfect and bounced the sound back towards us.
