Roofs have vents, noise gets in through them.

It’s relayed to industrial rezoning approvals in It has added hundreds of daily trips with large commercial trucks to the road I live on.

I am not aware of any rezoning that negatively affected DC. The traffic has increased significantly post pandemic.

It’s in the DC metro, there was some rezoning nearby so traffic has increased significantly

Won't work. Not dense enough to block sound. Though it may have a psychological effect.

I put 2-3 inches in the attic already, but it doesn’t help much. I don’t want to put anymore than this because I’m concerned the weight will be too much for the drywall.

I will need to replace my roof soon and I’m curious if there are any types of roofing material that work best for reducing airplane noise and traffic noise? Can I cover my roof with a layer of mass laden vinyl before installing the roof shingles? Does anyone have experience with replacing a roof to make it more soundproof?
