Can I Mix Cotoneaster With Native Hedging Such As Hawthorn

My garden had a fence covered in ivy which acted as a noise buffer from heavy traffic. Birds nested on it and fed on the berries. I will be having another fence put up but would also like a hedge inside it for birds and to soak up traffic pollution and noise. What hedges would you suggest and are quick growing?
