[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1157814, member: 746"] Another consideration is the background noise in your environment Have friends who live close to High Level Road in Sea Point, and worse, at the intersection of St John's Road. Traffic noise all day long. Its a busy intersection and also a curved street, so there are 5 or 6 emergency stops an hour and 1 or 2 crashes a week He fitted double glazing on the street side. This helped about 60%, less than was envisaged. Then some spray-in insulation in the roof void. Another 10%. Sitting there you can hear large trucks going through, the house shakes. Then in the few hours I was there, 3 cars mounted the pavement so more banging In Montagu the closest industry is 5km away. The main road is 1km away. There is still a bit of noise from this road as the municipality recently fitted traffic calming bumps. Not many cars slow down so you hear this thump-thump. But is usually so quiet you can hear the animals snuffing about from the neighbouring farm. So no need to turn up the volume [/QUOTE]
