Noise Reduction Solutions from Regency Windows

The most effective noise control is to prevent it from getting into your bedroom in the first place. For most people, the main culprit is their bedroom window.

Closing your bedroom door tight, getting a rug and putting on a white noise soundtrack will definitely help mask or dampen the amount of noise in your bedroom. However, if your window is too thin or has gaps and cracks, street noise will still fill your room at night.

Getting your windows double-glazed is the most efficient way of blocking noise. Upgrading your window frame the same time and making sure it's properly sealed will dramatically reduce the amount of noise in your room.

Double-glazed windows create a pocket of air between panes of glass, creating an acoustic buffer. Laminated glass can further reduce noise levels, absorbing and reflecting incoming sounds. Depending on the thickness of the glass layers, the width of the gap between them and the material in your frame, most or all of street noise can be eliminated.
