Excellent product, support, and very clear instructions. We look forward to installing these on all our windows.
Soundproofing windows depends on how sound is coming into your home and what noise is disturbing you. Soundproof windows work against traffic noise, barking dogs, & noisy neighbors – and they do this with window insulation. Soundproofing window inserts provide inside window insulation that both reduces and absorbs sound. Find out if they'll work for you:
Sound Reduction
Sound Absorption
Sound Reduction — Decreasing noise from its original level by blocking it. Sound-reducing products prevent noise from entering a space.
Sound Absorption — Decreasing noise from its original level by stopping its movement within a space. Sound-absorbing products stop noise from bouncing off surfaces.
How to Increase Sound Reduction | How to Increase Sound Absorption |
---|---|
Seal gaps in window (caulk, weatherstrips) | Add furniture |
Sound-dampening curtains | Hang acoustic panels |
Install sound-reducing blinds | Lay plush rugs |
Install interior storm window inserts | Purchase plants |
Now that you know the difference, decide whether you need sound reducing or
sound absorbing products.
Don't know which product you need? Noise generated outside calls for sound reducing
products to stop noise from traveling through windows, ceilings, doors, and walls.
Noise generated inside requires sound absorption products to reduce echo.
If outside noise is your issue, Indow is here for you. Noise travels via vibrations in the air and insulating, air sealing inserts block that noise from entering your space. Can't decide? You may need both.
Indow products can be used to block outside noise from entering while sound absorbing materials inside can minimize reverberation. Keep in mind, sound reducing products, like inserts, will provide a more noticeable difference in noise than sound absorbing products.

Installing window inserts is an easy and effective way of soundproofing windows. Indow Acoustic Grade window inserts can reduce and cancel noise – up to 70% of outside noise when placed over single-pane windows and up to 50% of noise coming through double-pane windows. In an office or home, soundproofing windows is easy with our inserts that press into your existing window frame—no hassle, nails, or adhesives required. But how much does it cost to soundproof windows?
Indow inserts are edged with silicone compression tubing to create a seal for your soundproof window. Getting an exact fit is essential in soundproofing a window, since gaps and spaces allow sound to seep inside. This precise fit also creates a more comfortable, energy efficient space while the low profile practically disappears into your window frame. Our custom-made inserts offer simple soundproofing for any window shape.

*We want to ensure our inserts help solve your noise problem. Overall noise reduction depends on the amount of noise coming through your walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and existing windows. Noise reduction will be less when placed over double-pane windows. Read our full Noise Reduction Sheet to learn more.
Despite your best room soundproofing efforts, the sound that does penetrate can be absorbed once it's in the room to minimize reverberation. It's best to avoid minimalist style of exposed brick and wood floors. Consider hanging Acoustic panels. Also, plush rugs with sound dampening rug pads, wall hangings, upholstered furniture and plants will help absorb sound.

I ordered the "acoustic grade inserts" for my bedroom to reduce road noise. They work exactly as advertised. Are they soundproofing? NO. Do they reduce noise to acceptable levels? YES. Compared to other solutions on the market (replacement windows, glass inserts etc) this is much more affordable. However, if you are looking for actual soundproofing, you need to spend more money and get something else. As a bonus, the inserts are tight fitting and have reduced drafts.
