noise insulation
I live on a corner of busy Atlantic Ave. I'd like to put something in my window which doesn't have a view to insulate against noise. I'm thinking of a piece of insulation-like Tyvek-having it cut to fit or foam like they cut for matrresses and pads.
Any suggestions which woulod absorb noise better?

What about acoustical foam? That would probably do the trick and is designed to be exposed, vs. the Tyvek and mattress foam; I'd worry about filaments from those choices. And, across the board, just be cautious regarding flammability as well as blocking a mode of egress (fire codes).

Do you have double-pane windows? Good ones that are installed well, will block a lot of noise.

tyvek is a building wrap that does not offer any insulation qualities. accoustic foam sounds like a good suggestion to me.
