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. We can prove it! Our experience indicates that 75% noise reduction is sufficient in almost all cases. Our customers feel the noise reduction is very significant – and definitely, enough to end the noise ‘problem’. No more need to raise voices or adjust TV volumes to tune out the noise.

Now you can sleep late, enjoy solitude, and reduce stress. In the rare events where the noise levels are really extreme or the sensitivity very high, we can install one of our recording studio quality windows and absolutely stop the problem, reducing the perceived noise levels beyond 95%. This is very seldom necessary and often your walls are not good enough and will become the new source of the noise problem. Our consultants can help you determine your best solution.

So Where is All That Noise Coming From?

The windows are the major noise problem in over 90% of the cases. As an analogy: You turn on a radio very low. Now take another radio and turn it up full blast. Which radio do you hear? Well, the noisy one is your windows and the quiet one is the walls. Only until you turn down your window’s volume, will it be possible to hear the walls.

The noise problems are seldom the walls but are always the windows. Only in extreme noise environments or very poor construction situations do the walls require any special noise abatement treatments.

Besides reducing noise, our soundproof windows can solve other window problems.

Our soundproof windows are second windows placed behind your existing windows. Our windows insulate, stop drafts, soundproof and more. They open and close just like your existing windows, and offer more benefits than replacement windows – at a significantly lower cost.

No construction mess or downtime to install our soundproof windows.

No hassle installation takes only hours per room to install our soundproof windows. Simple, straightforward and fast. Also, a very clean installation with little, if any, mess.

Many custom colors.

Our soundproof windows allow you to change the inside appearance of your windows without changing the outside appearance. Available in many custom colors (at an additional cost), our soundproof windows soften the often harsh brown-bronze color or appearance of your current windows.
