Really? I think we live closer to it than you* and I haven't heard a peep, and I'm a pretty light sleeper. Are you sure the noise you're hearing isn't from something else? I'd find it surprising if beeps of reversing trucks could be heard that far - but with no traffic and the right weather, I suppose it could easily carry that far (traffic/wheel & wind noise on Victoria usually drones out everything else).
The loud bangs are probably from the shunting yard near Lancaster. They just crashed two trains together so hard a few minutes ago our whole house shook, but that's what I've become quite used to.
* - Making the assumption "Downtown" means King/Victoria-ish type distances. We're about 1/4 of that distance.
