From the San Jose Mercury News:

The Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority is warning residents near certain stretches of light rail track to be prepared for loud noise as tracks are ground and smoothed starting Thursday night.

..

Completion of the grinding will considerably reduce track noise and extend the life of both tracks and light rail vehicles.

Sometimes you gotta break some eggs to make an omelet.

(But seriously, the long-term gains are worth the short-term noise impacts.)
