[quote=Anonymous]I live right on Western Avenue. Fenced backyard, so the busy road in front was not really an issue when kids were small. It is only busy during rush hour on weekdays when, pre-pandemic, everyone was out or on their way in/out. Regular traffic noise is not much of an issue. With good windows, only trucks, buses, sirens are noticeable. With sound insulating windows it would be better. The only time the street traffic bothers me is late at night-early morning when I'm in the front bedroom and early or late buses are running, or the occasional emergency vehicle with siren goes by. I sleep with white noise machine for that and manage fine. We spend most of time in the back of the house, where the street noise is barely noticeable. Sometimes I worry about car fumes, but we don't open the street-facing windows and have shrubs & tree buffers in front of and around the house. And other than weekday rush hour, the traffic is actually fairly light. It was the house we could afford at the time we bought in an otherwise great location. I have no regrets. The only thing I would change, if I had the budget, would be to get the expensive noise-cancelling windows for the front bedroom.[/quote]
