This post is 2 parts. 
1. Adding a water feature is a good idea!
I think that adding a water feature is a excellent idea.
It creates a mood, is soothing and can help eliminate unwanted noise. Recently, fellow blogger Shawna Gibson make a post about Selling her own home on a busy street.
Well I used to live on a busy street in California (no kidding)...
We added a pool with a water fall and it really helped with the noise. I think this is an excellent idea and something that a homeowner can enjoy!
You do not have to go crazy with a waterfall, but a nice feature may be a great choice!

2. Can this actually sell a home with a "noise problem"
I am not sure if this will make a difference in selling a home or not.
It seems like it would not hurt, but now that I live on the East Coast, I am a little more concerned about Winterizing and maintainance on a water feature than I was on the West Coast.
Please tell me your water feature stories. Do they help in selling a home?
Maybe just a simple water feature at a from entrance makes more sense?
Love to hear your idea?
BTW, here is a picture of my old Water Fall. I put it in when I was single and a bit of a nut!
