Need Soundproofing Sheets?  Sound Blankets? Consult a Professional!

Trying to decide whether to use sound proof window sheets or sound blankets to soundproof windows?  It can be overwhelming because sound blankets and soundproofing sheets are only one option among many others such as foams, wraps and expensive, custom made state-of-the-art glass.  The best way to decide if soundproofing sheets and sound blankets are right for you is to solicit the advice of a professional – someone who will carefully explain the in’s and out’s of sound proof window sheets to make sure you understand how convenient and effective they are compared to the more costly alternatives

When you’re searching for soundproof window sheets, consult a professional who:
• Will take time to explain how sound blankets work (do they offer sound absorption or sound insulation? and what is the difference?)
• Has an excellent reputation
• Will explain every option including soundproofing sheets, not just the most expensive methods.
• Can help you soundproof windows within your budget
• Takes the time to present each product’s limitations such as frequency

**Low frequencies are the hardest to block out no matter how much money you spend on soundproof windows

                                            …HIGH - cymbals, high voices, squeaky tools
                                            …MIDDLE - guitar, alto sax, conversation
                                            …LOW - bass guitar, low voices, humming machinery

Understanding the Basics in Acoustics

A basic explanation of acoustics will help you understand how sound blankets soundproof windows (Audimute sound blankets reduce volume levels - not eliminate noise completely!).  Sound travels in waves and longer waves are faster than shorter ones and produce a lower tone when you hear them.  Because of these different characteristics, a soundproofing sheet blocks out high frequencies easily but is not as effective with the lower ones. 

There are three ways to thwart sound.  A professional can asses your space and decide on the most effective method to soundproof windows.
• Damping or absorbing sound waves with soundproofing sheets (absorption NOT blocking - will reduce noise from bleeding - NOT stop it)
• Blocking sound behind heavy, thick walls
• Using insulation between walls to further block sound

Always ask questions

A soundproof window can be difficult to accomplish without a professional’s help.  In order to use sound proof window sheets correctly, ask a professional these questions:
• Are soundproofing sheets expensive?
• If I want to open the window, are sound blankets removable?
• Do expensive alternatives work better than affordable soundproofing sheets?
• Are sound proof window sheets difficult to install?
• Are sound blankets made from dangerous materials?
