Room treatment ideas for annoying external noises


big challenge is dealing with noises that come from outside the room.

Noisy landscapers from your neighbors, a dog barking, and inside from the refrigerator compressor buzzing all the time.

Anyone try to deal with these noises and how best to do it?? Thanks

Noise is out of control. Beg neighbors to stop hiring lazy landscapers who use leafblowers. 

Support any local attempts to ban leafblowers and enforce noise regulations.

Record dogs and play back barking when neighbors think they are going to have peace and quiet. Use supertweeter arrays to blast dogs with ultrasonics.

Improve the sound of your audio system.

When the audio sound is unnatural, human ears must adjust to that unnatural sound to hear clearly. Dog barking and construction sound are natural sound and they disrupt listener's concentration to unnatural sounds (audio sound) because human ears react to natural sound much easier.

If audio sound is truly natural, human ears don't need to do (adjust) anything for the audio sound. And there will be no listener's fatigue.
