Add a Glass wall to the outside fence. Plastic? Plexiglass? Clearly the old fence stopedd the problem. SO I say go back to the fence as the cure. Notto tear down the new one. but perhaps you can add something to SOME of the areas like a plexiglass shield. (make it portable at first) so you can move them say ten feet) around. and find the spot which STOPS the noise in the house.I have to say in my apartment, placing insulation, just plastic bubble wrap like mylar coated? stopped the endless (depending on the direction of the wind) train nighttime noises in the bed room. I only covered part of the bedroom window inside the outer glass, and between some. SO half still allows light. It stopped 100% of the night time (distant, only if the wind was toward my place) train noise for me. So another way might be to dampen the GLASS with a transparent sheet of material stuck to the glass in some areas? Are your window glass double? double glaze? or single pane? MOST of the noise is coming in via the glass. IMO. And yes it was blocked by your old fence. You could even make a hinged or folding barrier.. Up at night, down in day in the yard next to the fence.
Finally try a roll of plastic film. To test the idea of the fence thing. Roll of plastic material stretched across along the fence. Covering the ’holes’ in the fence with an actual barrier. Thin/temporary yes, but to SEE if it works, perfect. If you want to really be cheap. cardboard.. and packing tape...
