Union St in Carroll Gardens
Can anyone give me a sense of the noise level along Union St. in Carroll Gardens? (Spec between Smith and Hoyt?) I’m aware a bus line goes down the street.

Can anyone comment on the garbage truck noise specifically on President street btw 5th and 6th Ave? I am looking to move into a brownstone but the bedroom is in the front and I am very concerned about noise. Clearly a quiet street otherwise… Does anyone know what time collection takes place?
Thank you!

Wow, I’m loking to buy in this immediate area of Union Street and thought that the only annoyance was going to be the school, but that is much more pleasant than garbage trucks and busses that are 24/7…how about the neighbors closer to Bond street, because as i was coming down union, there is a pretty quick shift in neighborhood – is this the border of CG & Gowanus? Can anyone please offer up some opinions on the block…Much appreciated!

I live on Union St in CG (Hoyt/Smith) and the bus sucks. Have never gotten used to the noise and exhaust. Don’t move or buy there, if that is what you are asking about. All the other blocks nearby are very quiet; Union St is the outlier.
What is it with the noisiness of the buses? The one’s that stop in front of my house and accross the street are quite noisy. Plus they make the metal parts of my windows vibrate, more so than even the garbage trucks. Any solutions for noise and pollution from buses in PlaNYC?
I live on Union in PS also and don’t find it too loud at all. My bedroom is in the front of the house and i’ve never had a problem sleeping because of noise. Buses don’t run that often and never noticed much truck traffic.
It isn’t just the bus traffic, there is a lot of garbage truck traffic on Smith that can be quite loud late at night.
I am suffering through it on President between Smith and Court, and still looking to see if there are other causes.
See the Noise at night near Carroll Park forum entries for more info.
Union in carroll gardens is one way. Less traffic than park slope, but the bus can be loud. I live on Union and its ok.
I have lived on that very block and it really is not that bad at all. I would say the only noticeable annoyance was the bus, which can be pretty loud in the summer with the window open. But that is only once every half hour or so. The truck traffic is really not bad at all.
Union st btw hoyt and smith probably isn’t as bad as park slope, but still not great.
