What’s the Difference Between Sound and Noise?

What’s the difference between sound and noise? It’s really quite simple really. Sound is what you hear, noise is unwanted sound. Simple, right? While what some may consider being sound and others to be noise can differ (playing drums at 3 a.m. with no acoustic windows or studio doors to block noise), ensuring your musical prowess isn’t stifled but the time of day is important. A Soundproof Window will reduce noise levels by 75-95%. Our soundproof windows will reduce noise levels significantly which is not possible with dual pane or replacement windows.

Will Replacing My Windows Actually Stop the Noise?

New windows may provide some improvement, but very few windows are designed specifically to reduce noise. You could go through all of the time and expense of replacing your windows and never really solve the noise problem to your satisfaction. An added drawback is that while new windows might provide some noise relief, they are not a viable long-term solution. Much of the noise that comes through windows enters through broken window seals. With age and the normal slight movements that occur in your home when temperatures change, all conventional window seals eventually fail. And that is why so many people deal with the noise rather than solving the problem. They either move or just learn how to tune it out. Which isn’t the best option... Read More →

Add Security AND Stop the Noise

Soundproof Windows have Superior Security Qualities To achieve optimum soundproofing, Soundproof Windows uses laminated glass, which lucky enough, is also security glass. Laminated glass is excellent break-in protection. Breaking through laminated glass requires time, effort and noise, and does not shatter when broken. It tends to remain intact, protecting interiors from flying glass, flying projectiles, and other damage. Penetrating laminated glass requires more than just a golf ball, baseball, or brick. Laminated glass even withstands minor explosions and is the major component for most bulletproof glass. It is now being used to meet strict building codes developed in Florida for hurricanes and is used elsewhere for other severe weather phenomena such as tornadoes and earthquakes. Soundproof Windows Also Act as Insulated Windows Our soundproof windows double as insulation, helping... Read More →

SoundProof Windows are Essential for High Traffic Areas

For those who live near high traffic areas, chances are noise pollution is present and hard to deal with. A good way to help fade out all the unwanted noise lies in our SoundProof Windows
. How do SoundProof Windows Work? The industry grades our windows based on the unit of measurement for sound, which is known as Sound Transmission Class rating, commonly referred to as an STC rating.

The STC rating is the average amount of noise stopped at 18 different frequencies, measured in decibels. STC ratings generally range from 18 to 38 for windows. For single pane windows, the STC Rating is most likely... Read More →
