Posted February 24, 201015 yr Dear MasterGood evening.I am looking at the latest development by HDB. There is an MRT track running parallel to the flats there with a gap of about 50 metres. The first few flats are facing the MRt track.v>My questions are:a) Is the parallel track considered a negative feature in feng shui? b) Will living on a high floor be of any help? A link to the map is as followshttp://www101.hdb.g ov.sg/hdbvsf/eampu02p.nsf/ 0/10FEBBTOWL_page/$file/1 0FEBBTOWL_map.htm? open&ft=btoFor your kind advice please. Thank you ;-)
Posted February 24, 201015 yr Staff In my opinion, the problem has more to do with noise pollution: depending on the operational hours of the MRT trains e.g. 6.00am to 12.00pm.The Metropolitian6 Alexandra View (S) 158746Late last, year when this condo TOP, I was at a client's unit - facing and parallel to the MRT track. This unit is at #08-xx. Even with suppose to be better built quality and double glazed windows (closed) the noise can still be very irritating.HDB Woodlands, 688B /688C Woodlands Drive 75. (S)732688Around 6 years ago when these flats were newly completed. Clients home was away from the MRT track parallel to these blocks: 688B and 688C. Even in my clients flat facing south... the noise is very evident.Modena and also Tropical Spring35 Simei Street 4. (S)529869Tropical Spring is a U shaped block and around 2003, a client had a unit just next to the mrt track. The unit is facing the pool but only a wall separates the unit from the MRT track (running parallel) to it. Each time the MRT trains pass thru.. there is a roaring sound... However, it is different if it is an LRT track as these trains run on rubber tires .. no sound at all.Therefore, the issue lies with "noise pollution". And for future resale... the major headache is that many will shun buying the units - noise, noise, noise... very irritating... Note: MRT track running parallel to a block of flat will not pose or create a poison arrow even towards flats at the same height as the MRT trains. Only tracks that curve inwards towards the specific units would be a concern.
