[quote=Anonymous]We live in Kensington area and have are probably 1/2 mile away from beltway and have mostly trees and Beach Drive/Rock Creek Park between us it. Have lived here more than 10 years and NO - you do not get used to it. There are some mornings that I open the door and it seems like its a wall of sound. Yes - sometimes rain makes it louder but I disagree that trees do much to dissipate the sound (and if you google it it will say that there's maybe a physiological 'fake' if you can't see the road but trees just aren't solid enough to block sound. I guess some people do get over it. Friends in North Chevy Chase live right behind one of the "Sound Barriers": the sound there is truly awful but I know that they actually use their deck. I am in their front yard sometimes and if we are more than 5' apart - you really can;t hear each other sometimes. FWIW - these people are also putting their house back on the market for third time in hopes of selling. House is totally cute, well maintained but not selling - despite lowering price each time.[/quote]
