On acoustic signals when boarding trains, in line with Commission Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014  

The petitioner states that he owns a piece of land near a railway station. Since other operators apart from Deutsche Bahn began operating trains there, he has been unbearably disturbed by the acoustic signals emitted by the doors when they open and close. On enquiring, he was informed that this was as a result of application of Regulation 1400/2014 and was to enable access to visually-impaired people. The petitioner asks that the Regulation be changed and/or the possibility of using less-disturbing sounds to be investigated.
