Munaz's Profile

For us (in Singapore) public commute is a way of life, not chosen but rather imposed. Cars are heavily taxed not just while purchasing (an entitlement to drive can leave you poorer by 80 to 100K!) but also while using due to ERP, etc.

The goverment encourages residents to use public transport, which by the way is top class. So, to commute from point A to B we sometimes have more than one mode - either take the well connected train network or the take the bus services.

While we do miss the convenience of a car, we do enjoy traffic free roads, world class transport at reasonable price and more greener environment!

You can try various noise stop methods depending on which suites you -
1. Thick double layered curtains
2. Acoustic Door Seals
3. Products such as Green Glue to make additional wall panels
4. Soundproof Windows which are typically done using double glazed glass as depicted on this website http://www.grillesnglass.com/glass-windows/soundproof-windows/

Hope this helps!
