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 either.
The partial relief you might experience by replacing your windows is only a temporary solution at best. 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. Soundproofing windows are highly effective noise reducing windows. Tests in and out of the lab show that our windows are ten times better than dual paned windows and reduce sound levels in your home by 75 to 95 percent.
The best solution is to add a special window that is designed to eliminate sound to your existing windows. Not only is it much more effective in stopping the noise, it is more cost effective than replacing your existing windows.
Soundproof Windows® custom builds units that install right over the current windows in your home. They have been tested and verified to be the most effective solution available for shutting out the noise. 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.
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.
So in short? No, just replacing your windows will not get rid of your noise problem, but, it will help you a bit with a short-term solution. If you want to take care of your noise problem once and for all, it’s time to contact Soundproof Windows today. Enough is enough!
