    My offer for a house in Gem Rd Kenmore Qld was just accepted. However, I have found that a Kenmore Bypass Freeway (freeway 90km/hour and reduce to 70km/hour at the Gem Rd based on the Qld Mainroads's feasibility study ) proposal is about above 100 meters from the house. I am afraid that as soon as the Kenmore Bypass is completed, the traffic noise will effect the house.

    Does anyone know how bad the noise will effect the house if it is about above 100 metters away the freeway? Actually about 8 house blocks.

    How much the house price will be discounted if it is located such close to the freeway?

    Would a sound insulation fence will help reducing the noise?

    Thanks a lot
