Hire a spectrum analyser, and get a handle on what you’re trying to attenuate. Some will be audible, some will likely be subsonic / infrasound. |

--- Quote from: raptor1956 on May 12, 2020, 01:54:40 am ---... This is a problem that I am currently dealing with -- I live in an apartment and work a night shift which means trying to sleep during the day with the sound of lawn mowers and leaf blowers and the neighbors yelling at each other. I have a particular problem with my next door neighbor as there young daughter has no inside voice. It may be that she has Tourette syndrome or something similar, but .... Sleep deprivation is not fun! --- End quote --- You really need to use ear plugs. Ear plugs will not block everything, but will probably reduce the noise enough to help you sleep peacefully. When I travel I always bring ear plugs with me, as hotel rooms are often noisy. In fact, I always carry a pair of ear plugs with me; just in case. :) |

If I were you I would focus on sound deadening materials and ear plugs. Active noise suppression is unlikely to work. Can you put an additional layer of dense wallboard on the wall? wall material over the wall you share - with a thin layer of foam beneath it and carpet on the room-facing side. |

Are there any consumer products out there, not headphones, speakers, that could help reduce traffic noise in a room ? I'm considering moving to a place right on a busy street. I don't want to go crazy, yet. --- End quote --- For what it’s worth, it might not even bother you. You get used to it pretty quick. I’ve lived fight next to a commuter rail station, and on a rather busy street, right in a front bedroom. Despite being sensitive to things like speech when trying to sleep, I very quickly adapted to the rail/road noise. Unfortunately, the only way to find out whether you’ll adapt to it is to move, since you can’t really judge it based on a single trial night (or even a week). |

Maybe a good HEPA air cleaner would be a good sound masker that also cleans air? |
