You will get used to it.

I find it helpful to close the windows and on the fan.

Get used to it. People in flats along MRT tracks had the same problem.

I have a friend who lives on the ground floor of an old building along River Valley Road, and behind a bus stop. So you can imagine the noise of the buses screeching to a stop and pulling away every few minutes. To tackle the problem, he refitted his windows with Best View windows. According to him, it works like a charm.

Today, I went to my place and the worker was laying the laminates. I watched him to do so as I sat at my usual spot, reading. Then I realised something, I wasnt disturbed by the traffic outside at all! Why? Cos the worker's radio was on, that too at a low volume.

In conclusion, the cheapest way to counter traffic buzz - soothing music of your choice!

I would think that it would solve the problem. Cos I have a super sensitive ear and I have been living in a quiet area all my life so now that I have an apartment next to the road, boy is it bothering me BIG time. Each time I drop by, I will keep being bugged by the traffic outside. Of course FH, is not bothered the least bit, but I really cant take the **** noise!

Do feedback ok. I really hope it works for you!

textured/uneven wall and curtain help.

my living room noise has cut down alot.. because i have textured wallpaper, and lots of curtain...

my guest room is still very noisy, cos thin curtain and no wallpaper.

Theres a sound proof door in the market, according to my ex owner, our door is sound proof. (our house is facing expressway, u can imagine how noisy it is..) once we close the door, really reduce the noise. But i dunnoe the brand, sorry~
