Sound

The sounds of peace and quiet are some of the best sounds to have when your home is being shown to a prospective buyer.  But there are other sound considerations of which you should be aware: Avoid barking dogs and noisy children, if possible; also avoid sounds of work like vacuums, dishwashers and lawn mowers; make sure there are no sounds of mechanical problems like banging pipes or faulty appliances; light classical or instrumental music can be effective in creating a pleasing atmosphere.
