Common Local Sound Challenges We Solve
Historic Home Noise Issues: The city’s beautiful heritage homes often have thin walls, original windows, and construction methods that allow significant noise transmission between rooms and from outside sources.
Coastal Wind and Weather Volume: Living near the coast means dealing with wind disturbances, storm sounds, and the constant background noise from the harbor and nearby waterways.
Tourism and Traffic Volume: The area’s popularity as a tourist destination creates increased traffic noise, especially in downtown areas and along major corridors like King Street and Meeting Street.
Construction and Development Disturbances: Ongoing development throughout the county creates temporary but disruptive construction noise that affects both residential and business properties.
Dense Neighborhood Living: Compact neighborhoods mean homes are often close together, creating challenges with neighbor noise, music, and daily activities.
