After you all left yesterday, I was finally able to relax and listen to the sounds of the street. It actually is quieter in the house. Thank you. When I was reading my son to sleep, it felt much more peaceful and cozy. It did not feel like the cars were in the room with us. The sounds are still there of course, but they are much duller and much more unobtrusive background sounds. Thank you for taking such good care of us.
