[quote=Anonymous]I live about 400 feet from the beltway, blocked by trees, a five floor apartment building, and a "sound barrier" and I still can't sleep at night without a white noise maker due to the noise. On the other side, about 1500 feet away there is a busy road. What you need to realize is that at night the street noise is louder. Difference in the air temperature low to the ground versus higher in the atmosphere causes the sound waves to bend back down toward the earth. As crazy as it sounds, it's a scientific fact. I find the street noise to be about twice as loud at night as during the day on many nights.[/quote]
