When the sun shines and we throw open the doors and windows, we don’t just let 
  in the sunshine but often the noisy neighbours, too. People next door become 
  too close for comfort as you suddenly become aware of squabbles and other 
  things you do not want to hear. It’s lovely to hear your own children 
  shrieking with pleasure, but other people’s can quickly become intensely 
  irritating.

  from the Noise Abatement Society says that in urban areas, even an outdoor 
  supper for a few people can sound like a rave to immediate neighbours, as 
  sound echoes and bounces around and diners become less inhibited. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/gardenprojects/6005689/Keep-those-noisy-neighbours-at-bay.html"><P>If you put up a sound barrier fence at eye level 
  (around 1.5m high) you may reduce the perceived noise by about 5db.
</p> <P>
If you extend this to three metres, you will halve the perceived noise.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/200AAA0D-FC47-4092-926C-2BD867B5AF1F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
