Understanding How Soundproof Windows Work

Thanks for the content. OITC is a much better "soundproof" measure than STC. STC was developed to measure sound movement inside a building (interior walls). OITC (Outdoor/indoor transmission Class) measures the typical noises from airports, cars, roadwork.... The sound waves created inside a house are different then exterior sound waves which is why OITC was developed and STC ratings are discouraged in architectural specs. STC is better known but OITC (published by most window manufacturers) is a much better sound blocking measurement. Thanks again for the content.

Thank you. Beautiful teaching and presentation. I’ll be going for STC windows where needed, as soon as I purchase my home. I don’t care what they cost! Finally want peace and quiet. City now with single pain has nearly destroyed me. I was suburbs before that, though still plagued bc of big defense dogs next door and across. I was country before that, but health and financial loss caused a long delay getting back to it. And, ironically bc of sleep loss and interference with work this doubled recovery delay. Shame on selfish and rude neighbors.

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate how you are detailed in informing the customer of the many choices & things we just aren’t aware of. Continued success!!!💯

Thanks, very informative.

Great explanation . Thanks 🙏

Really enjoyed the video Jeff, great information really well presented!

Hi Jeff. Im a window cleaner in Clear Lake. We have a neighborhood where they put in those 4-sash double plus single windows. That's 8 surfaces for us to clean. That's not my complaint. Problem is that there are parts of the between surfaces that cant be cleaned. Our customers were told that the inner surfaces would never get dirty. I hope the ones you sell dont have this problem. Its a neighborhood of very unhappy customers.

Super helpful in my consideration of replacing my windows.

Great information mr Jeff

I wish you were located around the Orlando area I would of for sure gone with your business. We love your great informational videos and demos. Recently ordered PGT impact windows w/alum frames to replace existing circa 2003 single panes, several very large sliding glass doors and to help with some annoying airport noise. Should be installed next month hopefully they'll do the trick...

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it, how is the STC for VIG?

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for doing this!

Fucken amazing 👏

What kind of glasses are used in broadcasting studios that achieve nearly 100% sound insulation between the production partition and normal areas?

Thank you. Are you guys in Florida? I live near the Orlando FL airport and got an estimate to replace the windows from single to double pane. Don’t know how much noise reduction will get. I need help

I need those airport windows. I live too close to two hospitals in San Diego and I hear their rescue helicopters. Never heard anything louder. Do you have any contacts out here in San Diego, California, who might carry those triple pane secondary windows? Thank you. You'd be saving me from going insane.

How do standard triple pane windows compare to these other options?

Just get some hurricane impact windows like five ViWinco. Great sound reduction.

My right side spring is loose how do I put it back?

What about triple pane windows? How do those fare?
