Hi guys,
I have recently bought a 1930's weatherboard home in Melbourne. We are finding the house noisy at night due to a freeway about 500 yards away.
The sound is not very distinct, rather like the sound of ducted heating (i.e a low constant woosh type sound).
I find the sound annoying and it disturbs my sleep so I am investigating ways to reduce the noise.
We also have some street noise but this is magnified for me because of I've never lived in a bungalow before. Overall the street itself is pretty quiet so it's more the 'ambient' traffic noise that is a concern.
I am looking at getting Polyurethane foam insulation (http://www.insulfoamsolutions.com.au/). It costs approx 2.5k for walls and 2.5k for floors. The guy I spoke to really knew his stuff, very helpful and no pressure.
Has anyone installed this product and what is their report on how effective the foam was in reducing noise
cheers
