I am dealing with concert noise from nearly 10 miles away on a regular basis — from that distance we get bass that’s super loud, almost as if it’s just down the street.

Reading some of threads on here, it seems blocking bass entirely just isn’t going to happen at a practical level — not planning on building any rooms within a room — but what can help reduce it to something more livable?

I have looked at upgrading my single-pane windows with some kind of soundproofing like Citiquiet or Soundproof Windows. Would adding heavy curtains on top of the upgraded windows help? Adding attic or crawl space or wall insulation? Or is this all just going to be a ton of money for a minimal reduction in bass?

I am willing to experiment with a room or two first, but wondering if anyone has had success with this kind of project.

I have been driving Audi Q5s for ten years and love they way they drive. I live in an area with many hills and curves. Thoughts about the Atlas SEL on similar terrain?

I am considering making the switch to an Atlas SEL because of the extra seating and cargo space. We have two kids 10 and younger, so hauling their stuff and any other family members is a challenge in the Q5.
