Landlords are not required to do anything different than what the building codes would require for their area. Rentals that are close to Trains, Freeways, or Airports are typically lower cost in order to accomodate for the undesired noise. This really requires some due diligence on your part. Never sign a contract without knowing what you are getting into– I always suggest knocking on a few doors in the area before agreeing to rent.
You may want to see if you can break your lease… if its driving you crazy it would be worth a shot.
