How the Replacement Windows Sold at BM Windows Help Keep Out Noise from the Outdoors

There’s just something about having a quiet house that can make you feel a bit calmer. Now, there’s not much we can do to help you with the sounds that originate inside your home, but if you’re looking to reduce the competing noise from outside, we can definitely help you out there!

Windows with a single pane of glass do very little to keep outside noise from entering your home. If you live on a quiet cul-de-sac or in a rural area, you may not be affected much by outside noise, but if you live on a busy street, have noisy neighbors, or live near a school or airport, you need all the help you can get!

You may already be well aware of your need for windows with sound suppression—like if you’ve ever been woken up by dogs barking, someone revving their engine as they drove by, or your neighbor’s lawnmower. However, if you live in an area with constant noise, you may have gotten used to it. Do people ever come over to your house and say things like, “How do you deal with the constant freeway noise?” or, “Do the airplanes flying overhead keep you up at night?”

Let us tell you this: even if you don’t think you really need noise-reducing windows, they just might change your life! Yes, we know that sounds dramatic, but as a company that has been installing replacement windows in San Diego homes for many years now, we’ve heard over and over again how shocked people are at how quiet their home is with new windows! How they sleep better at night and don’t get woken up earlier than they want to due to outside noise, or how they don’t have to turn up their television as loud in order to hear what’s going on. Some comment just how much calmer and more peaceful their home now seems.

Simply upgrading to dual pane windows from single pane windows will help reduce outside noise, but when you upgrade your new dual pane windows with sound suppression technology, like the Anlin Sound Package, you can reduce the outside noise up to 50% more than typical dual pane windows! One of the elements in Anlin’s Sound Package is dissimilar glass thickness, where the two panes of glass differ in how thick they are. This helps break down the sound waves to keep out noise.

You can choose to add the Sound Package to all the replacement windows you have installed in your San Diego home, or just choose to add it to select windows (such as those that face the street). A BM Windows representative can help you strategically select the windows that get the upgraded sound suppression technology if you don’t want to add it to all of them.
