[MassHistPres] Noise abatement question

[Annie Harris]

Hi
Storm windows help especially if they have AC in the summer. Depending on their street, they could petition their community for traffic calming such as speed bumps and lower speed limits. “Safe streets” is being practiced in lots of places.

I’ve had the question from a historic homeowner and they’ve said they plan to replace their windows first—I haven’t replied yet, but I will obviously discourage this!!  When I reply, I’d like to offer other suggestions.  Storms? (I know there was a thread about storm windows recently and the company that used to make the preferred ones is no longer in business…).  Insulation?  Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.
