We are looking at a house that backs up to a busy road. ANyone ever use sound barrier fence before?

The house is very nice and the garage is sweeeet (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) ...BUT it close to road. Once the trees fill in we will not see the road but the sound might be an issue?? It's not bad just there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I have lived on busy streets in San Francisco, and the noise never bothered me; even got used to the house shaking when the streetcar went by(after going through the '89 quake). I would be more concerned about living with the exhaust from all the vehicles over a long period of time. I personally would never buy a house right by a busy road for this reason, despite the knowledge that catalytic convertors are very effective. I would plant trees, or put in big oleander bushes or some other hedge in addition to the wall.
