Well, then it's clear you don't have enough experience to objectively judge the situation.

I lived near 5 different stations in Tokyo in 10 years and all of those were how I described it.

I also lived in Saitama and Kanagawa. It's the same there too.

Maybe you should get more exerience first and live longer in Japan?

I lived in Japan 2x long than you. You just said you lived near stations so there you go. Of course it’s loud next to the station. Walk 3 minutes perpendicular to the station and it’s silent
