Master Bedroom Soundproof Window Installation

Ok. So after living in our house for about 2 months, this was a home project that was essential. Our house backs up to a busy street in Arlington, with cars, motorcycles, emergency vehicles, etc going by at all times of day & night. From our bedroom, this car noise is LOUD. We tried to get used to it through fans, sound machines, ear plugs, etc but did not have success.

So Kyle found a company online that makes soundproof windows that are custom fit. We decided to try it out. It is basically a window that fits snugly around the outside of the window sill. Ours slide open and
come out pretty easily if we need to clean the blinds or open the real windows.

When Kyle proposed this soundproof window concept to me, I wasn't sure what to think. But after sleeping last night in a much quieter room, I can say it was well worth our purchase! They still don't block out really loud noises, but average cars driving by we don't hear much of anymore.

This project Kyle did all by himself and I'm proud of the home repairman he is becoming!

My blogger is still being dumb in the
way it uploads pics and I really don't like how you can't move the picture order around after they are uploaded. So I would show you the pics in order of start to finish, but I guess you will have to figure that out on your own.

If you are interested in soundproof windows for yourself, ask Kyle. He can give you a firsthand client testimony.
