Other things to note:
Our home is located in an urban area so you will hear ambient noise throughout the day. We are also located on a main cross street so there will be more car traffic during peak rush hour. And we are located under the flight path so planes will be heard flying by throughout the day. We have recently installed noise reducing windows and doors throughout the house to help keep outside noise to a minimum.
