  • Anyone know anything about reducing road noise at a property? We’re looking at a house that is about 100m away from, and maybe 10-20m elevated above, the equivalent of a B-Road that has cars every 2-3 minutes.

    Right now there is nothing blocking the noise, just a chicken wire fence. We’d like to understand if anything can be done and to what extent, to reduce noise in the outdoor space.

  • Indoors? Modern double/triple glazing will solve this.

    Outdoors? A dense hedge, in leaf, will mitigate some of the road noise.

  • A dense hedge

    Show me a hedge dense enough to generate any worthwhile sound attenuation. If a tree falls in the forest, every fucker hears it for miles around 🙂
