Exactly. The noise is only in the morning and afternoon for about 2 hours. The sound barrier wall would, if it even helps at all, divide the property in the middle. I agree with MarCh on that. Orient the house more in a north-south direction and install proper soundproof windows towards the street. That would probably be much more effective than a wall in the garden and likely cheaper as well. The reflection from No. 91 remains, for example, with or without the wall. So you’d put up a 2.5m high wall there and enjoy the view :)
We have lived right next to it for 20 years now. I still have not gotten used to the traffic noise. In comparison, a lawn mower sounds as "pleasant" to me as the "plucking of a harp." ;-) Especially because the lawn is mowed at most once a week while the cars speed by almost continuously every day.If noise is such a problem and 8 dB is desired on the terrace, then the wall must completely surround the house to shield from lawnmowers, string trimmers, etc. I no longer hear the cars, but hours of lawn mowing,... :)
No, it’s not worth it. However, forming and initiating interest groups is worth it. At our old place of residence, we were able to initiate speed reductions on both local and district roads – not at every location, but at some. At our new place of residence, we manage to get communities to leave more meadow on green strips and are increasingly gaining approval to avoid gravel gardens. Those who create majorities bring about change; that is our system. On some beautiful weekend days, in some places, you can count over 200 motorcyclists per hour roaring through the villages, acoustically bombarding entire valleys all day long. Nothing against motorcyclists, but the dose makes the poison. Stronger and stronger interest groups are forming here as well, and changes are in sight. With a bit of stamina, political engagement is worthwhile and ultimately also a foundation for the functioning of our democratic system. This doesn’t solve your problem immediately, but in the long run the same problem for many.Whether the effort is worth it and then being labeled a troublemaker
That's exactly what it's about, to examine a "life decision" to the best of one's knowledge and conscience so as not to regret it later.If the noise bothers you so much then maybe another property. What do you gain if it is quiet and you live in a cage Noise sensitivity is subjective
I will bring this up in a chat with the neighbor. Let's see what the response is like. Good argument!No, it's not worth it. But forming and initiating interest groups is definitely worthwhile. At our old place of residence, we were able to initiate speed reductions on both local and district roads – not everywhere, but in some places. At our new place of residence, we manage to persuade municipalities to leave more meadow on green strips and are increasingly gaining approval to avoid gravel gardens. Those who create majorities effect change; that is our system. On some beautiful weekend days, in some places around here, you can count over 200 motorcyclists per hour roaring through the towns and acoustically blasting entire valleys all day long. Nothing against motorcyclists, but the dose makes the poison. Here too, increasingly strong interest groups are forming, and changes are in sight. With some perseverance, political engagement is worthwhile and ultimately also a foundation for the functioning of our democratic system. This does not solve your problem immediately, but in the long run the same problem for many.
