need honeysuckle shrub replacements

Thank you for tuning into this question! I hope some of you shrub experts out there can offer advice.

I've been taking out the invasive non-native Japanese honeysuckle shrubs between my home and a busy road. I'd like to continue the work, but the reduced privacy and traffic noise is pretty discouraging. If anyone knows, please tell me what shrubs and/or small trees might be good replacements:

---partial to full shade, under upper-story deciduous trees

---semi-moist lowland area by creek (thick euonymus ground cover)

---dense foliage needed for sound muffling and privacy

---fast growing!!!

I've been thinking about Blackhaw, Serviceberry, Rough-Leafed Dogwood and Spicebush, but don't know which would best fit the conditions and, importantly, grow fast!

Thank you for any help you can give me!
