I am going to be landscaping soon. My situation is that diagonally behind
my property, two lots away is a really obnoxious LOUD constantly barking
dog. Yeah, I have spoken with the owners, resorted to making complaints
with the police and am considering taking them to city court.
I will be installing a privacy fence. Any type of fence better for noise
than another? Metal, wood, etc. Code says I can go 8 feet high. Will 8
feet vs 6 ft give me more sound barrier. What kind of plants can I plant
that will cushion sound? I am in extreme South Louisiana, so anything
tropical will grow here. In the scheme of the layout, the noisy
neighbors/dog is southwest of me and down here, the prevailing wind is
almost always from the SW.
I am thinking of installing a fountain....for the charm of it, the birds
like it...plus it makes for good white noise. I have been to a garden
fountain center and listened to the different tones of water
splashing....drips, sprays, wooshing noises. Big drops falling, etc. I
don't want the water noise to be so much that I have to shout over it, but I
think the white noise will be helpful.
Any suggestions?
I love to be outside. The obnoxious barking is constant. Day and night. I
don't hear it INSIDE my house, because I insulated with blown cellulose to
block traffic noise on the front of my property.
Any suggestions appreciated.
