A tall hedge is also an excellent noise barrier and it provides a home and food for wildlife

There is double pane glass now that holds a vacuum in between the two panes, apparently it's much better for sound absorption than even triple pane windows. From my limited physics knowledge, it should actually block pretty much all sound, since sound needs a medium to travel through. So your window would actually be more sound absorbent than your wall. Apparently it is also the best glass for insulation! The only disadvantage is that the window panes need to support each other with small pillars in between them, because the difference in air pressure between the atmosphere and the gap between the panes would otherwise break the glass, so those pillars are visible if you look for them, but for a bedroom, bathroom or office window this is ideal.

Despite their superior thermal insulation, their soundproofing performance just seems to be similar to regular double-glazed window in lower frequencies (relevant for traffic noise), no surprise to me since those spacers need to be pretty rigid to bear the huge load from atmospheric pressure so they also bridge the gap for sound waves.

So many videos treat all double-pane windows the same. I would love it if you'd do a video on in difference between a cheap big box double pane window, and a high quality double or triple pane casement.

Great idea! Thanks

Love these videos. I am building a small 11x16 free standing office right next to a highway. Construction is starting soon. I'm wanting it super super quiet and the highway is very loud and vibrates the walls. I'm willing to spend more to make sure it is so, can you recommend any videos where the budget is higher and its pre-construction.

There was something I saw perhaps on Reddit where someone built two walls independent of each other, because in reality you have the outside vibrating from that noise pollution, having a wall inside independent of the outside one you could mitigate a large amount of the vibration coming from the outside.

Is there a much cheaper solution?

The cheapest really would be sound deadening curtains. Just make sure to Velcro them to the frame so there’s no gaps letting more noise in.

I don't buy it that curtains have any significant effect on very low-frequency traffic noise

Not a significant no, but the cheapest usually don’t work as well as the most expensive.

OMG! You’re getting more attractive 😮 that face ❤
