Default Soundproofing traffic noise


wrote in message
...
I'm looking for anyone with experience solving a soundproofing issue.
I have the privilege of owing a nice condo at a beach resort, but I
really don't sleep well there due to the constant traffic noise. The
condo is about 30 yards from the costal highway and it can get quite
loud. Apparently it's very cool to alter your truck's exhaust system
and rev the engine at 2:00 am. Are guys modifying the motorcycle
exhaust systems too?


If it's bothering you, it's probably bothering the neighbors as well.
Perhaps the condo association will plant some evergreen trees as a sound
barrier? Or a fence?

Though as someone else said, you should work on getting the noise stopped,
not just blocking it.
