Default Noise from neighbors, solutions?

Can you hire a priest to visit, regularly? I notice people
swear a bit less around priests.

Wow so many replies. Thanks for your comments.

OK I'm not going to move, I didn't know the noise was a
problem until
after I bought the house. How could you know such a thing
without
living there? Sometimes you don't. None the less I'll NEVER
make that
mistake again, even if I need to stay in the house for a
night. Maybe
in a couple years I'll move when I can afford it.

The noise I'm trying to diminish is in my backyard. I have
two huge
patio doors that I love to leave open because the fresh air
that blows
in is very nice and refreshing.

The problem is not low frequency noise, the problem is with
voices
which usually fall into the higher frequencies. I don't care
about the
occasional bass that comes from them.

The problem is their talking and voices. They are lower
income homes
and they will not co-operate. Their language is atrocious
and I'm
about to have a baby girl whom I really don't want listening
to those
things.

I can also put inside my property a concrete block wall
right behind
the existing wall. I believe this is the best solution.

The other solution would be the steel frame and concrete
board with
fiber glass. This would be cheaper than a brick wall.

I wish it would be as simple as recording and playing it
back, people
here don't care. If they do care enough then they might end
up
poisoning my dog or something else retarded.

I would certainly like to add a water feature in future and
will
certainly look into that when I look at building a wall.
