Living upwind of a noise source materially reduces the noise you receive.

Evidence

Generally, if you find the noise bothersome, try to live upwind from the noise source for the prevailing wind direction. If you are living in a relatively quiet area with a highway or industry 1 to 10 kilometers away, take note of the days you hear a din from that direction and the wind direction. — Eric J.
