That sounds more like a pet problem or a training issue than a transportation issue though.
Have you heard a freight train horn compared to a light rail horn? They're much quieter.
As for your situation, might I suggest instead pressuring the neighbors to help you apply for a permit for a "railroad quiet zone"? In my state at least that is a thing where a neighborhood can pressure a rail company via local government to have a designated corridor like this. The corridor will have any railroad crossings updated to have a "NO HORN" indicated signage since the train will not blast its horn on approach to the intersection, similar to this picture but my state also has requirements that the intersection will have speakers playing a sound indication that a train is approaching, and the train will have its bell ringing but no loud train horn. It's much quieter than the normal setup where they must per federal law lay on that horn multiple times as they come up on an intersection.
