Will Replacing Windows Reduce Noise?

If you live on a busy street, near an airport, or just have neighbors that tend to get a little loud at times, you might be looking for ways to reduce the noise from the outside. Would replacing the windows on your home help? Luckily for you, the answer is yes! If you choose the right windows. You see, glass windows are unfortunately ideal for conducting sound waves, so a single pane of glass will do almost nothing to stop noise from penetrating into your home. While it's not possible to completely soundproof your home, you can significantly reduce the noise if you choose the right windows.

How Can Windows Reduce Noise?

If you truly want to make an impact on noise reduction, you'll need to choose windows that have some of the following features:

• Multiple panes - With each additional pane of glass that your window has, the noise will be reduced even more. Look for windows that have three panes of glass for maximum noise reduction.
• Space between the panes - The more space between the sheets of glass, the better the sound prevention. Look for windows that come with spacer systems.
• Argon gas fills - When argon gas is inserted between the panes of a window, it will add a few benefits to the window. Not only will it minimize heat transfer through the window, but it will also add an additional barrier that sound will have to penetrate to enter the home.
• Thick glass - The thickness of the glass also plays a major role in sound prevention. The thicker the glass is, the less noise you will hear from the outside.
