Well I did . . but not until they all went out :clap: Seems that the curtains have reduced the noise by the cottages courtyard by about 3 dBa to 68/69 dBa. The background noise at that point (road / animals / etc is about 60/61 dBa. But noise perception is a funny thing - it still sounds pretty loud to me ! |

When I bought the job lot of PVC strip curtains for the generator enclosure I was aware that there might JUST be enough left over to span the eastern entrance to the stable. At last yesterday I managed to get the 'curtain rail' up and today I hung the strips - they have an absolute minimal overlap of 'one hook' as I don't have enough for more overlap, but in the future if any more turn up it's just a case of hanging and cutting to length. No doubt they will blow all over the place when it's windy, but there is a noticeable noise reduction over towards the tractor shed now that they are up. With neither the floor nor the lintel being horizontal positioning the rail was fun - it IS horizontal but doesn't look it! |
