Residential Acoustics™Reviews of residential-acoustics.com

I read all of the reviews and did some research on the product. I then ordered a large acousticurtain for my bedroom window (approx. 66x55.) The communication from the company and shipping across country was perfect. We bought a home on a busy street with a 45 mph speed limit. I had no idea how badly the traffic noise would affect our sleep, and we were being woke up by loud cars and trucks accelerating by 6AM every day. I went online desperately searching for an answer. I was really tired! The acousticurtain made the most sense to me so we measured and ordered a custom size. It arrived and it was big and somewhat heavy. We expected this from prior reviews. I now doubt that it would work so well if it wasn't so heavy. Bottom line- It works exactly as described. It blocks out and dampens enough noise that we can now sleep. I would describe it as- if the noise level was previously at 10, it is now at 3-4. I don't even hear small regular traffic, and those big loud trucks are so much quieter, I usually sleep through it. AMAZING! BTW, we chose to go to Lowes and get a piece of trim wood that fit over our window, screw that into studs, and then screw the curtain hooks into the wood. It made sense that it would be more sturdy than screwing the hooks into the wall directly. We also use the Velcro and I believe that it really helps keep the maximum amount of sound out. Also, once you get the hang of rolling it up and down it's pretty easy and allows you to have your window when not sleeping. I am so happy to have found this product and I would recommend it to anyone with noise problems. And no, I don't work for the company. Scott S

This curtain was as described and the shipping was quick although we are in same area as the company. As far as the sound reduction goes, first we have not and are not planning on using the velcro to fasten all the sides down. We ordered the blind to be about 4 inches larger than the window on all sides. I would say overall it has reduced our noise by 50% on average. The louder the noise the less it seems to reduce. On medium to low level noise it does a good job. We were realistic in what we thought this blind would do and are satisfied. If you think it is going to soundproof all noise then you will be disappointed.

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

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!

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.

Very happy with our curtain. It blocks out the noisy street and even lawn mower sounds are barely heard. It's made extremely well. High recommend if you don't mind a darkened room.

At first we were skeptical by what we considered to be a high price, but after receiving our order it was clear it was well worth every penny. I would highly recommend.

WE have loud barking dog next door and this curtain completely sound proofed this window. We covered the curtain with a white shear curtain, this way you don't see the acoustic curtain. Thank you Residential Acoustic. Ed
