550+ days of data on the traffic noise in the Village of Justice

I had an interesting conversation with an "acoustic guy" that was interested in the sound chambers I designed and built for sound recordings at work.  He had confirmed what I have long believed to solve some of the traffic noise with the possibility of an 8 dB drop (meaning it would feel like less and half the noise).  Since you can physically see the cars on I-294 from the frontage road a simple Berm (basically a mound of dirt) of an extra 6-8ft.  The village has the equipment- hey, there is even a "HUGE" mound of land near the public works!  Seems like a no-brainer....
