City Windows or how to get sound proof windows

Our contractor also suggested the city windows. Here is the website.

We would love to hear from someone who has installed them.

I went with CitiQuiet, but soundproofing all outside noise can be difficult. You have to also consider whether you have a thru-the-wall HVAC because noise will leak in from there as well. My soundproof windows significantly decreased outside noise and insulated heat better, but high-pitch noise such as sirens and car horns can still be heard.

We have City Windows; works quite well and has universally good reviews on this board over time. Reduces decibel level 10-15.

Agree with what jjeanx said. I used CitiQuiet for bedroom windows and they did an excellent job. I have thru the wall A/C, so yes, still hear car alarms, sirens, helicopters, garbage trucks -- but significantly less -- and they really mute the West Side Highway traffic.

You can get covers for the thru wall ac as well. I did this and it helped.

Risktaker: Yes, Cityproof provides very good a/c covers.
(Easily removed, for whenever you need to use the a/c.)

In C0lumbia C0unty, does anyone have a preference between COuntryPr00f and C0untryQuiet?

Where is COlumbia COunty????? Is it in New York or New Jersey? Or is it an in-joke that this idiot doesn't get????

C0lumbia C0unty is connected to Greene C0unty via the Rip Van Winkle bridge.

Is that a "cogent" description of Columbia County, huntersburg?
(The County, as per the New York State map?)

I used CityProof Windows to deal with a problem with neighbors in the building facing ours playing loud music after midnight on weeknights. They did a great job recommending the right thickness of glass. They had other suggestions about the a/c if the window treatment wasn't enough. The windows were enough to block out all noise. We should have installed the windows right away we had the first problem rather than suffering for months and trying to reason with these people. Other neighbors in our building heard about our solution and installed the windows also.

I forgot to add that CityProof gave me a list of references. There were people on the list that I knew from the last place in which I lived. They gave great references.

One lived next to the ramp down to a garage with a squeaky door that opened on and off all night. (First floor apartment.) They also face the area where the city picked up the building's garbage (middle of the night). They put in a very thick glass.

The other lived on the side of the building facing a main avenue, a truck route that was very noisy after midnight. They lived on a higher floor and used a thinner glass for their windows.

There were other side benefits. I used the gap between the two windows as a small green house. My HVAC unit ran more efficiently causing my electric bills to drop.
