Soundproof Window Panel

1) Nick : Have a window that is 74" in width about 50" in Height. What do you recommend? Cordially, Nick

2) John: Does the velcro strip around the window come in white as well as black?

3) jeff: How should I measure for a sill that juts out from the window at the base?

4) Diane L: I will be calling tomorrow to place an order. I have two questions- 1. Is the window panel as easy to apply as it looks? 2. I live in Canada and my order is under 1000 dollars. What can I do to convince you to mail my window cover to Montreal, Canada! Of course I'm willing to pay Fedex/UPS charges.

5) Lisa T: Hello, I'm interested in this product to block out dog barking, lawn mower noise, etc...I am trying to decide between your product and this one: How do you compare and what is your return policy if your product does not work? Thanks, Lisa

6) Mike Swift: What is the sound attenuation in db?

7) Lorraine M: Hi - Does this do a good job blocking noise from fireworks?

8) Vern L: Are the soundproof window panels equally effective at reducing the sound traveling out from within a room?

9) Robert K: I live on a bluff about 40 feet above and 75 feet away from a busy street. The traffic noise especially the high frequency whining from motorcycles and skooters, and the low frequency noise from big trucks rumbling up and down the hill keeps me up at night. I already have quality double pane, laminated windows, so what percentage sound reduction can I expect? 10%? 25%? 50%? Please give me a honest answer. If you prefer let me know how many decibels of reduction I can expect. I get about 65 db of noise at the worst and 30db when no cars are going by. I do not want to buy another product like an acoustic curtain that makes a 0-10% difference. Thank you! Robert Krause

10) Judith : Would your product stop a barking dog noise? Shrill bark, Chiwawa? (sp)

11) Youngmin K: Hello, I am trying to figure out the best, least intrusive way of sound proofing the walls of a bathroom. The bathroom in my apartment shares a wall with my bedroom (there is a built-in closet between that wall and the bedroom space). The main problem is that sound of water running through the pipes (plus every bump coming from the bathroom, including toilet flush, etc.) echos loud and clear through the wall into my bedroom. It even passes through the closet even though I have clothes and other materials (some boxes) stored into that closet. My neighbors in the next door and the downstairs apparently run into very different schedules, so I am constantly woken up by hearing water rushing noise as late as 2am, and as early as 5am. I have not been able to have a decent night sleep because of this. Since this is a rental apartment, I figured that installing sound deadening drywall/sheetrock or using something like Green Glue would not be possible. While doing some research for fixing this problem, I discovered soundproof window panel in this website, and some plans come up with my mind: I am thinking what if I put this panel against the wall within the closet (where bathroom noise comes out and transmits to the bedroom). Do you think using soundproof panel in this way helps absorbing the noise coming out of the wall? Or, are there any recommendations using other products (in this website) to soundproof that wall? Thanks in advance for your advise. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Youngmin

12) Debra: About the clear vinyl covering- do you have a a video that I could see this product on the window?and a demonstration of noise block. is it possible to secure this under my blinds ? I wand a product that will look nice and will blpck road traffic noise, -

13) Zhaoxu: About the clear vinyl covering- do you ship them to UK? If yes, how long would it take, and is there an option to choose a faster delivery with extra costs? Thank you very much.

14) WOLETTE : is this price for real? 1 window panel for $299.00 or is it a few panels?

15) Olga M: I did not find information on how much noise reduction are your Window sound barrier provide. Please let me know measured in % of noise reduction or any other way. I am interested to buy clear panel.

16) Daniel: How would this product work with windowsills? Wouldn't it prevent the padding from completely sealing off the entire window?

17) Chris L: Your website does not show a photo of what your soundproof window panels look like from the OUTSIDE of the building. Are they plain white, beige or black? Our HOA CC&R's dictate that all window coverings must be neutral in color when viewed from the outside of the building. Please advise. Thank you. Chris LeMond

18) Veronica K: Hi, I am interested in the product though I have wide window sills and frames. How bendable is the product? My window looks nothing like yours in the video. Am afraid the curtain won't lay flat and not work properly.

19) Dan C: I'm interested in this product. But I don't want to spend $500 for a window not knowing for sure is this will do what I need it to do. Is there a money back gurantee with the product doesn't do what I need it to do? Please advise

20) Chris t.: Hi, we can hear neighbors voice from our bedroom in our apartment (mainly through the shared wall). do you think if we hang this product (sound proof window panel) on wall , it could help dampen noise. we were thinking about 48 X 72 size.. that might cover about 1/2 to 3/4 of the offending wall .. or would the Sound Curtain- Heavy Duty be better? also, are these made of safe materials to inhale every night?

21) Jeremy R: How does installation work if there is a window sill at the bottom of the window?

22) Stephanie: Hi - we are in Singapore - we want to order 2 panels... are you able to ship to us? Regards, Stephanie

23) Julie M: I have a window sill/shelf on all of my windows. How would the velcro seal on the bottom of these windows?

24) Ciaran: Dear TM, I am looking at your soundproof window panel. It says they provide STC 29, yet I have read that the average STC of a single pane window is 26-28. Is my data correct? If the product offers such a marginal difference to STC, how can it be reducing the sound entering my home. I look forward to your answer. Many thanks. Ciaran

25) Destiny: Do you ship intl? Im in the UK

26) Metheavy: Hello, I might be interested by your soundproof window clear panel. I would like to use the velcro. However, my top, right, and lower windows frame are 1 inch wide, instead of 2 inches as required. Can I still install the clear panel on my windows frames? Or can I install the velcro directly on the windows? Thanks

27) Chester E: Is it possible to get this product with white or clear velcro for hanging?

28) janel: What is the stc rating of the transparent window panel?

29) janel: Does the tan vinyl block out light completely? Can I use the clear and fabric panels together to get twice the soundblocking?

30) Phillip M: Hi, Does the clear panel block out side noise as well as the others? Thanks

31) Tejas K: Hi, I live nearby a main-street and my bedroom has a 96"x82" (WxL) window (not including extra 2" for velcro). I would like to get the light so I the clear vinyl sounds like an option for me. I have two questions: 1) Does a clear vinyl has same performance as an opaque one? 2) Given that 48" is the maximum width allowed per panel, would it be possible to install these on my large window? Thanks.

32) Mike C: Our window measures 52 w X 62 h. That is the size of the frame not the glass. It says max width is 48. Does that mean we need to buy two panels. Mike

33) JN: Can I place this window panel over horizontal window blinds or do the blinds have to be removed in order for the panel to be installed? JN

34) Paul: My window is round at the top: Top half is a half circle 70 3/4 wide x 35 3/8 tall Bottom half is a rectangle 70 3/4 wide x 35 3/8 tall Should I just order oversized square (say 75 x 75) and attach velcro to wall instead inside window opening on window frame?

35) Jay W: If you use clear is there a difference in DB reduction as a result of using clear over material?

36) Mustafa: Good evening; I'm interested in your product but i wonder what are the differences between soundproof window and door panel ? I need to use it on a door but its too expansive for me to buy the door panel so can i use the window panel on my door ? Thanks

37) Jian: Hey, I'm looking for a way to help reduce the traffic noise for my two bedrooms as they are facing to the street way which is also close to the free way. I have dual pane, but the noise is still around 51-55 db. I really want to reduce it to around 40 db if possible. I was thinking to replace the windows with the laminated glass, but it's price and not sure whether it's worth the investment. I found your product - SOUNDPROOF WINDOW PANEL on youtube. I have a bed room window with 75" width(including 2" for each side), and 60" height (only including 2" on top because there is windowsill at bottom which outward the wall). I need a grey color, but I would like to know whether the transparent panel has the same noise reduction as the regular color one. Looking forward to hearing feedback form you. Best, Jian

38) Jim B: can u mount this or anything like this on the outside window frame? thanks

39) Mark: How well will these reduce noise from a neighbor's noisy outside central air conditioning unit?

40) Mel: Hi! My bedroom is in the back of the house next to my neighbors backyard. They sometimes play loud music and are talking loudly in the middle of the night when it's quiet outside. Will this help with that noise or will the sound likely still come through the walls?

41) Kevin H: I'm renting a place and would like to remove the soundproof clear window panel when I leave. Will the adhesive on the velcro be hard to remove, cause permanent marks, or remove paint? Also, can the 2" margins around the clear panel be another color than blue?

42) Yuan: How important is it to use the Velcro? I like the fact that there are hills in the panels because I want to be able to hang and remove them. Will there be a notable difference if I hang a panel against the window instead of using the Velcro?

43) Michael Xie: My window is in a wood frame. One side of the frame is not even. (The middle part is higher) Is the material bendable? Or could I use some foam to fill in the gap?

44) Tom H: The video showed the level of sound coming through the sound barrier panel but did not show it for the clear see through vinyl. The sound we are trying to block is dribbling of a baskeball in driveway next door.

45) Mark: Hello, I would like to reduce road noise, more specifically, freeway noise in my dwelling. I see that the vinyl window panels have a STC rating of 29. If my windows have the same rating i.e. 29 would my total STC rating for my window unit be approximately 58 ? If not, please explain. Thanks

46) John G: Hello, I am very interested in your product. My current problem is the new apartment I moved in faces a busy highway, and the windows that face this highway are very old and do not seal well. It sounds as the widows are open even when they are not. The length of this window is roughly 95 in wide by 52 in tall. My questions / concerns are: 1. How well will this soundproof window panel eliminate the noise from the street? If I am not happy with it is there a return policy? 2. Does the clear soundproof window panel provide any less sound proofing? I would like the ability to have the natural light come through - if possible. 3. If I choose to purchase, what is the usual delivery time it takes for my panel to arrive? Thank you very much! Best, John

47) suneel: 1. How would this work if there is a jutting at the base of the window. i have some pics to show you of the what i am talking about. In such windows it will not create a proper seal to block out the noise. 2. What is the STI rating for these

48) Laurie H: What is the insulation value of the quilted panels? and of the clear vinyl panels?

49) Angie : Will these soundproof window panels help eliminate the noise in my bedroom from my neighbors barking dog? I recently had my windows replaced with triple pane pella windows and I also run a sound machine and i can STILL hear the dog next door bark. It is a jack russel/chihuahua mix and it is about 50 feet or more from my bedroom window. PLease help!

50) Jon: Does the velcro adhesive damage the paint on the wall if/when it is removed? We are leasing.

51) evens p: Is the vinyl (MLV)? Also, if you use MLV #1, Can you make the clear vinyl panel with MLV#2?

52) Evens P: I understand that the clear vinyl panel is only a sound barrier. But If I just want to block outside noise from coming into my bedroom,should not that be enough? what is the purpose of sound absorption? Also, If I am not blocking sounds from going out, how is it necessary?

53) Ken M: I was thinking of putting the white window panel on my windows but because of the fact that they will block out the sun light, I have decided to go with the clear vinyl panel. Will there be a significant difference in sound blocking?

54) Clive P: How many years of usefulness can I expect to get out of the clear vinyl panel? Will the sound barrier lose its efficiency over time?

55) Gary: 1.)What is the STC rating on this window panel? 2.)How well do these work at blocking out the frequency of a train horn? 3.)Is there a discount for ordering more than 1? -Thank You

56) thompson: considering a curtain to cover a typical twin double hung window. appears cheaper to order 81" wide unit vs two 40-1/2" wide units Advertisement states this will come as two units using velcro to join. Does this become a permanet joint or can they be easiliy seperated. also the window has a traditional sill (window is not picture framed) how do you account for this in order height and what is securing method at sill

57) Robin T: 1. what percentage of sound does it block out 2. does it have an odor 3. what chemicals is it made with Thank you.

58) maher i: Hello, What is the weight of a 56"x54" soundproof window panel? Thanks, Maher

59) Danny O: I have uneven molding around my window frame. I can get 2 inches on all sides, but the Velcro strips will be adhering to a fairly uneven surface. Will it still work? Also, one window will have an AC in the summer. There?s no way that the panel could accommodate for the slight protrusion of the AC beyond the frame, is there? Would be awesome if so, but I imagine that?s asking too much.

60) Robert: Hi, What's the STC rating for this product?

61) Bryan: Hello. I'm interested in your window panel. Just curious how to install if the bottom of the window frame has a lip/ledge?

62) Mark C: I am interested in purchasing a couple of your soundproof window panels but have a few questions. Does the Velcro come off easily or is it likely to peel paint from the frame? Also, I have a wooden frame around the window with a sill that bumps out. Is it best to attach the Velcro to the wood frame and sill? Lastly, is there an issue with heat if I leave the panel up most of the time. For example, I have blinds installed, would the heat be a problem in the summer, damaging to the blinds or window frame?

63) Fiona L K: Hello, My window faces the street, it is a new build with good quality double pained windows but I can still hear traffic noise. Will these be of any benefit? Thanks

64) Bill N: I'm looking to do this in my son's college apartment, when moving, will the the tape that goes against the wall cause the paint to come off requiring the need to repaint.

65) eileen: how do you remove the velcro placed on wall around window without damaging the wall when you no longer need panel?

66) LG: 1) Do the clear vinyl sheets trap heat; 2) can they be easily rolled up? 3) What is the actual expected db reduction one can expect from the clear vinyl on an existing single paned, wooden framed door or window? In one answer above there is a statement of 7-15db, in another answer it states 15-20db. What is the correct answer? Thank you

67) LG: Another question: I have an old fashioned front door with glass panes. I want to still have the light coming in, so it looks like the only real solution you have is the clear vinyl window covers. Is there any reason this would not work on a door?

68) Leo: I only have 1.25" flat surface on which I could place the velcro strip around the window due to large built-in shutters. Would 1.25" of available velcro be enough to keep the panel up? The window is 78" in height and 60" width.

69) Katherine: I live right next to a highway and hear traffic noise through my double-paned windows still. Will this dampen the loud engine sounds? If so, by what approximate percentage?

70) Scott: Does this product reduce low frequency noise such as train engines or heavy equipment? If so , what dimensions do you suggest? Larger than measured window I would assume? Also how much is shipping/handing?

71) wolfgang s: would putting 2 of them together make it stronger i need as close as i can get to the 90's percentile producing sound out side from getting in

72) wolfgang : will 2 on top of each other make it even more soundproof like the thicker the better? and what is this made out of exactly?

73) Eva B: My window is about 60" X 60". Can one large panel be made? And could I get an approximate price?

74) Sally C: Are these soundproof window panels good for lower frequencies (rumbling trucks) and are the plain clear vinyl as good as the vinyl covered panels with sound absorption? Are the sizes indicated in the description the length size? Would you recommend getting a panel a bit larger than the window in both length and width?

75) Manh Le: I have a a big windows in my apartment. Measured 71"x 78.5" (already included velcro measurement). I read some info on your website mentioning that the panel for my windows will be split into 2 panels. 0. Do you split this horizontally or vertically? 1. Will this affect sound blocking performance? 2. Not sure how mating velcro will work in my case? My windows are big and it does not have median in the middle where I can affix the mating velcro. Thank you

76) John K: Hi What is the difference between the sound blocking properties between the clear vinyl and the padded vinyl? BTW Great Website, I have learned so much, Thank you!

77) Diane L: What is the stc rating of non clear panel and is this effective for blocking against very loud, deep low pitched barking of a dog about 25 ft from window? Thanks

78) joe: windows are 67x57 with a three inch casing all around. i do not intend to use velcro on the walls - even though i understand i will be losing some functionality. can these be made without velcro? they will be hung from the grommets, and will fit nicely inside the window frame.

79) Deb j: What is the measurement (how much do you get) for this price for clear window panels?

80) Brandon: What brand/type of fiberglass do you use in the Soundproof window panels? I am ideally looking for something that is formaldehyde free. Also, since the hooks are not included, is there a particular brand, size, or shape that you recommend? Thanks!

81) Eddie: we have a large window in our bedroom that needs to be soundproofed. However, on either sides of the two windows, there isn't enough space for the velcro to be attached. The right side of the window has about 1in of wall space and the left has 1.5in. It then meets a right angled wall. Would I be able to attach the velcro to the side walls and bend the vinyl at the ends?
