They have "silent cars" on my MARC commuter train running into Washington, D.C., where they "discourage" cell phone use and ask you to be courteous of your fellow passengers... in other words, "Keep it down, yo."
I've also noticed more people wearing earbuds designed to cut down on noise, making the non-silent cars much more bearable. My MP3 player's earbuds double as noise suppressors, and it makes the much louder Metro a lot more comfortable.
As far as the notice... now, they just have to concentrate on keeping the airlines
flying...
