So, from my single observation, the changes in the economy with shipping congestion reduced, etc, has definitely changed the volumne of traffic, as well as any potential reflection of the noise from the meggison road walls, reflecting the noise back over the road.

just an interesting observation, not that this is a game changer, but just to acknowledge that truck noise has definitely changed in the last year from the last several years.

During the Civil War there were actually battles where thousands of troops didn’t show up because the wind was blowing the wrong direction, and they couldn’t hear the guns from a few miles away. They didn’t even know a battle was going on. At least that’s what they claimed.
