My home is near a busy and noisy road. Is there anything I can do to help diminish the sound that doesn’t require me to exchange all the windows? Any and all advice accepted! Thanks!

Maybe just replace the guest room window. It’s not that expensive for just one.

The best fix is to add sound proofing in the walls and replace the windows with tightly sealed double pane.

I haven’t tried this but you could get sound proofing curtains.

You can get acoustic tiles on Amazon. But be aware that blocking sound isn’t always straightforward because sound waves rebound and bounce.

Depending on your budget, 2 previous posts are strong responses. Exterior barrier (trees or fence) and sound barriers in your wall. This includes adding sound proof insulation (internal or exterior walls). You can also double up on drywall.

Really trying not to spiral, and my practice group leader has been openly hostile to and dismissive of me lately. I haven’t mentioned my depression/anxiety to him because we’re not exactly getting along swimmingly, but I don’t know who else to talk to about my MH. Fighting with my wife hasn’t helped either. Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?
