Trees, bushes, sound wall.


Yes, trees and bushes are excellent sound absorbers.

They absorb much of it but then later they emit some of the sounds
they've absorbed. Late at night when the traffic has stopped, if you put
your ear next to the bush you can hear that day's traffic noise.

Police who know about this and get there soon enough have gathered
audible evidence about crimes committed close to the bushes.

Sort of like "The Whispering Pines"?
