Interstate traffic is tough, depending on how close it is to your window
and whether the roads are wet. I will say that the device would make it
much more tolerable, as the white noise will drown out most of the variable
sounds outside your window. It probably won't do anything with the noise
of trucks as they downshift right outside your window, though.

If it is that bad, you have no choice but to demand of the hotel management
to put you in a room away from the highway if they desire your recurring
business.


Hahaha...I tried that last month in a certain hotel that must have been
100 feet from the interstate. Unfortunately, it appears that when your
company forces you on the road with less than 12 hours notice, you're
kind of stuck with the room the hotel gives you.

It didn't help that I was so tired when I got there that I didn't even
notice the trucks until the next morning or that I'm used to sleeping
with an air filter on. Might have to keep looking for something with a
white noise feature.
