I purchased a light black out system for a larger window opening consisting of two regular windows that are side by side. I purchased this from Indow. I chose this option because my research of other options suggested that I would just be wasting time & money on the less effective alternatives. These windows are on the east facing side of the house. The ability to sleep longer with so much light coming into the room was very annoying. Even when using darkening window shades. The effect on the room has been fantastic. The bonus is that the light blocking product also provide significant sound deadening from the wonderful birds and neighboring cows! My wife was initially very upset with the modification until she noticed the improvement in her sleep quality and improved chances of sleeping in! The investment is significant, but it has been extremely beneficial. Thank you for highlighting this product and the features, advantages, and benefits. We have had ours for nearly 2 years.

I live in a brownstone across the street from train tracks that are elevated on a hill and the windows aren't latching in the main bedroom, facing the tracks. I can hear car tires, people talking, and the train noise at night sounds like someone is dragging an empty garbage dumpster across my sidewalk. We get Metra trains and heavy freight traffic at night. The noise proofing from the windows downstairs in the living room is much better and the windows are the same, but the downstairs ones latch tight. I'm probably a prime candidate for something like this but am going to try to fix the existing latching mechanism first or get new windows installed too. Good to know these exist.

Ok, I have kids that play along fence, and dogs bark alot too. outside the small area of my apt, they scream their lungs out daily. I think I have double. As one slides up, the other thing tilts inward I'm not sure if its single or double. Would I benefit from this? If not and there are no other ways to seal the window soundproofed. I may have to move when my lease is up in November. I'm hoping not because I like my apt, its only the noise outside. Btw also regaading the noise, can any of it, and how much come from the walls on the sides of windows? Please help asap, thx.

You could leave the wall as is and place an extra layer of drywall over top of it. It’s the cheapest and easiest way to actually get real results. I know a lot of people are intimidated by adding a layer of drywall but it’s not difficult and there’s a lot of resources on KZitem that explains the entire process. And hiring someone to do it also works 😉

@@exjehooberdubexpiobeezleeb6269 This is what I've done and it works better than most things you'll find on YT. You won't be able to look at the window anymore, but this is the best DIY I've found (by many trials and errors) that deaden/mute loud bass frequencies coming into windows... First spray expansion foam ("Great Stuff") inside the window frame (stops air leakage). Then buy high density memory mattress topper foam (has to be "memory" foam, not sponge foam) at Walmart and squeeze it inside the window pane between the storm window and inside window (it will block the view and the light coming , but who cares). Buy some MLV (mass loaded vinyl) and staple it over over the window frame and make sure it covers the entire window. Then take 5/8" sheetrock (double it up) and cut it to cover the entire window frame. Buy the thickest rubber gasket weather striping (self-adhesive) and stick it all the way around the window frame (creates an air gasket and sound cushion for the sheetrock), then lay the sheetrock over the entire thing and drill it into the window frame. You'll still hear the A-hole's car stereo, but it will reduce it by 50-70%. Keep in mind you'll also have some bass coming through the walls of the building which cannot be prevented, but the window is the main issue here. This is best you're going to get without replacing the entire window with 3 panes of 1" glass (that is used in center city skyscrapers), which would cost a fortune depending on the size of your window.

This is not a valid test. Higher frequencies can be blocked much easier than low frequencies. IF you want to test if the low frequency of traffic can go through then you need a huge subwoofer or bass drum to test. Also you need to be clear and systematic about the Db reduction numbers: Db reduction with windows inserts vs without .. etc

You are a bad liar and know they promise a lot more difference than that.. Then you later stated it was unscientific. Why did you not get a barking dog (the main reason people want silence) and let us hear that AND keep giving us decibel differences? I don’t trust you.
