noise coming from the window

Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2008 6:00 pm

Hello, I live in a apartment surrounded by quiet neighbors. No problem regarding any noise leaking through walls. The only problem is the window that faces the street.

How do I block the noise that leaks through the street window?

Thank you

Depends on the type of window, frame and whatnot.

You can plug it up with something you can't see through or you can plug it with something you can see through.
You can make these plugs permanent or they can be removable.

You can make them yourself or buy them.

Got a photo of the offending window?
Got a budget?

Builda framework, 4" deep, and fill it with rockwool. Now, mount that in the window opening with retainers. That'll get rid of just about all of it.
