There are lot of relatively light trains, and then there are a few larger ones during the day that rock the hotel like a small earthquake. All of them blow their whistles. It's a safety issue, and probably necessary. I really have gotten used to it. More annoying are the hotel guests that have long loud obnoxious late parties and don't close their room doors and the phuckers that feel it necessary to shout down the hall to their friends, especially of the nights that you have to get up early for business or a flight home. It's a matter of common courtesy to be quiet in the hallways.
I found the loud obnoxious tools much more annoying than the train when I stayed at the Amistad. Loud drunken parties done with doors wide open and/or in the hallways. Screaming to each other down the hall. Clomping up the stairs with two chicas making a huge racket. All in the middle of the night. Assholes....
Glad to hear there is someone out there who agrees with me. I like to party as much as anyone else, but in my room with the door closed and without shrieking in the hallways. Actually there are effective ways to seek revenge, but I would rather not stoop to that.
I do not mind the chicas clomping down the stairs in their high heels, if they wore running shoes they would lose some of their charm--most of them are short already

Add a 3rd to your list - pisses me off too

Just another example of rudeness, and preventable stupidity
With the possible exception of the Holiday Inn (which is a non starter now) EVERY hotel I've stayed in San Jose has had noise issues - especially the car alarms that seem to go off all night - luckly, I'm not a light sleeper.
The best place I've stayed in for a good nights sleep is Pico Blanco, in San Antonio de Escazu (not too far from the old White House/Bachelor Mansion) - but its a 30 min trip to downtown, and geographically undesirable - but the elevation, clear, cool air, view - and the silence were nice.
