You want to see the outside without hearing the outside. That’s the essence of a good window. But in these times it seems that there are always cars driving past, planes flying overhead, dogs barking and neighbors who don't turn their sound down. And that makes it difficult to enjoy some peace and quiet in the comfort of your own home.
This is where MILGARD® Soundproof Windows come in, because while we can’t turn down the outside world’s volume, we can make adjustments to ensure that we don’t hear as much of it - creating an oasis of peace of quiet in our domicile.

MILGARD® Soundproof Windows, also called acoustic windows, are a specialized type of window designed to significantly reduce the noise levels that enter a space. By incorporating multiple layers of glass and using advanced sealing technologies, these windows create a barrier against external sound. They’re ideal for homes in busy areas or for individuals seeking a quieter, more serene living environment.
Soundproof Windows are categorized as either noise reduction windows and noise canceling windows. The former can reduce the amount of outside noise that’s allowed into your space, while the latter will almost cancel the noise completely. However, buyers should know that there are no windows that are completely soundproof.
MILGARD® Soundproof Windows Benefits:
If you live in a busy area, there are many reasons you’d want to learn how to reduce noise from outside your windows, especially in areas like the bedroom or guest rooms. MILGARD® Soundproof Windows can help you get a good night’s sleep, and they have other benefits, too.
Noise Reduction:
One of the key benefits of MILGARD® Soundproof Windows is their ability to dramatically lower noise levels. Whether it's the hustle and bustle of city life, noisy neighbors, or the rumble of traffic, soundproof windows can help create a peaceful indoor environment. When searching for a soundproof window, there are two important acoustical rating systems to know:
Sound Transmission Class (STC): The higher the STC number, the more efficient a window is at blocking outside noise. Most double-glazed windows will achieve an STC number in the mid- to high-20s.
Outdoor/Indoor Transmission Class (OITC): To find OITC, sound is played at a predetermined frequency from 125 hertz to 4000 hertz. A receiver on the other side of the window picks up how much sound got through. The difference between the two numbers is the OITC. The higher the number the better, and most dual-pane windows have an OITC number in the low 20s.
Strength and Durability
MILGARD® Soundproof Windows are made from durable materials designed to withstand various elements while minimizing sound transmission. The glass used is often thicker and sometimes laminated, adding to its strength and sound-dampening capabilities.
Windows that are double- and triple-glazed – which typically have higher STC and OITC numbers – are usually stronger than other windows.
Energy Savings
Beyond their sound-reducing capabilities, MILGARD® Soundproof Windows can also improve energy efficiency. Having double- and triple-paned windows both helps to reduce noise and improve your home’s energy performance. These windows have warm-edge spacer systems, which hinder heat transfer, thereby keeping the interior of your home at a consistent temperature. At the same time, the spacer systems help reduce outside noise.
Choose the Right Soundproof Windows for Your Property
Double or Triple Paned Glass
The choice between double- or triple-paned glass depends on your noise reduction needs and budget. Double-paned windows offer significant soundproofing and are cost-effective, while triple-paned windows provide maximum noise reduction and energy efficiency. Consider the level of ambient noise and your insulation requirements when making this choice.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is another excellent option for soundproof windows. This type of glass incorporates a layer of laminate between two sheets of glass, enhancing its sound-dampening properties. Laminated glass not only reduces noise but also adds an extra layer of security and UV protection, making it a versatile choice for homeowners.
Insulated Window Frames
Choosing the right frame material is important to maximize the benefits of soundproof windows. Frames made of fiberglass or vinyl offer the best insulation and durability because they reduce heat transfer and sound penetration, making your home more comfortable and quiet. Consider the aesthetic and thermal properties of each material to find the best fit for your home.
Explore MILGARD® Soundproof Windows
Soundproof windows are a big investment, and you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. Many manufacturers will sell “soundproof” windows, only for you to find out once they’re installed that they don’t work as advertised.
With MILGARD® you always know what you’re getting from their windows. The MILGARD® V400 Tuscany Series boasts excellent reviews for sound reduction, but all MILGARD® windows use high-quality materials and workmanship.
