    I wouldn't wanna be in the apartment directly under it. But I don't think a properly designed monorail would necessarily be disruptively loud, as long as they accelerate/de-accelerate at a proper distance from the station. The station announcements and door chimes would probably drive you crazy though!

      They glide as softly as a cloud.

      Probably makes more sense in a mixed use building. Commercial under monorail under residential.

      Assuming that the noise mostly travels downwards, which sounds plausible but I'd definitely want to check.
