wrave · 6th February 2003

I've got the same problem and haven't found an answer just yet. But my work schedule is such that most of the time I can only record in the early morning between 4:00 AM and, on the weekends, as late as 10:00 AM. Most of the time, except for the hounds' breakfast and the event when an emergency vehicle goes by with it's siren screaming, the dogs aren't too bad. I did request my neighbor move the kennel to the distant side of his property which he did. Originally the kennel was practically under the window of my studio.

We have a local regulation here though and unless the dogs are persistently howling after ten PM or before 6:00 AM, complaints to the authorities don't count for much.

I'd guess foam insulation over my windows would help quite a bit but there again I am reluctant to shut out the sunlight.

Just some thoughts.
