I live on a busy street. Can siding help with noise reduction?

A: Yes, adding siding can significantly reduce exterior noise, which can help drown out your neighbor’s barking dog or the guy next door running his leaf blower at 7 a.m. A top choice is HardiePlank cement fiber siding, which blocks noise better when compared to other materials. The general rule of thumb is the thicker and heavier the siding material, the better it will be at muffling sound.
