Subject: Q: How to deal with noisy street?

I live on a noisy street and am looking for suggestions on how to 
mitigate the sound of the cars passing by.

Am considering a fence, a hedge, a tall thick stand of bamboo,
even an artificial hill or dirt burm.
The site has 55' of frontage onto a fairly busy street. The house is about
30' from the street, so the dirt hill is impractical.

Suggestions appreciated.
