I live on a street that used to be small sleepy street --- in the last couple of years, it has become a major thoroughfare, and the noise in my kitchen was unsettling. I ordered one of the shades, having measured by myself, and it arrived very timely. I even installed it myself !!! Alone !!! (Who says women can't be handy!!). I love it. It is attractive enough -- but most of all --- it cut down at least 80% of the traffic noise and I can now have my coffee in peace!!! I would highly recommend this product. JH, Sarasota

This curtain certainly does mute sound and light and the colors and shipping and everything were right on. However it was MUCH MUCH heavier than I anticipated. We bought this as a covering for a loft opening in our infant son's room as an alternative to permanently covering up the loft opening to the floor below. It works fine but is so heavy that we can't really open and close it easily so we pretty much leave it open - covering the opening which is a bummer. So the product is good, just a lot heavier that anticipated so not good for everyday on demand opening and closing.

Curtain is very heavy and it took a while to hang, but it really works. Measure very carefully. It took a little time to get responses from customer service, but they did respond every time.

The process in which to order the acoustic drape was easy, so easy I was concerned that maybe it would not be right. When it arrived, it was was exactly what I expected, only better. Top quality and actually stylish. Great job, thank you!

Just bought the curtains. Seems to be helping decrease the noise go through the doors. Might buy more.

I own a duplex/maisonette - in which two bedrooms overlook the living room via an interior sliding window. I needed some thing to dampen the sound coming in and out - and this worked.

I ordered the "Soundproof Curtains" after seeing other reviews about their effectiveness at reducing outside noise. After receiving the curtains, we realized that the measurements I'd sent in had not been followed. You're instructed to add a certain number of inches around the outside to allow for the Velcro to seal the curtains to the wall. The sewn-on Velcro was placed a few inches in from both the top and bottom of the curtain, and also in a bit from the sides, so it falls within the area of the window itself, and the curtain cannot be sealed. We haven't noticed any reduction in sound from the curtain. I don't know if this is because we are unable to seal it, or if it's because we already have double paned windows and a solar cellular shade which may dampen the same amount of sound this curtain would have, but regardless the curtain was simply an expensive window covering that did little to improve our noise situation.

I purchased the Acoustitrac for a laundry closet. My desk is right next to it, so the washer and dryer would drive me crazy. There is now an appreciable decrease in sound. I can still hear the machines, but it is now bearable. I no longer have to turn my music up when the machines are running. I was hoping that the curtain would do even more sound reduction, but there is a vent into my office from the closet that the curtain does not cover, plus we share a drop ceiling so sound can travel above the ceiling tiles and down to me, so I can't complain. It does the job. Installation was difficult as I discovered that the area above the frame to the closet had no wood, just dry wall. The anchors provided were inadequate and wouldn't grip the drywall. They kept falling out. so I went with Wall Dogs, which were perfect. The provided anchors are why I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5.
