René and Gerda Schuurman also experience this. They have been living by the railway in IJsselstein for almost forty years. The tram occasionally makes less noise, but it is not gone yet. What is striking is that the tram beeps more often when it drives towards IJsselstein than towards Utrecht. The weather conditions and the driving style of the drivers are also of influence. In short, there are many factors that cause the tram to cause more nuisance at times than at other times. But René and his wife certainly do not notice the effect of the wheel dampers: “It is very annoying, eight times an hour.”
