Townhouse Window Soundproofing

High-rise apartment buildings are at a disadvantage; if they have a clear line of sight to a street, then it's likely the noise from the street can be heard.

Being at ground level, townhouses are susceptible to traffic noise, particularly when there’s a spike in noise as a street goes from a steady stream of cars to one with honking taxis and diesel trucks passing through.

Compared to free-standing homes, townhouses are at an advantage in that not all sides are externally exposed. This means fewer windows and doors which are the top sources of sound infiltration.

Not all noise reduction attempts will be worth the effort. While noticeable, any noise reduction that is 5 dB or less will be insignificant to be considered beneficial. Instead, a target of at least a 10 dB improvement will “feel” as if the noise levels have been cut by 50%. That change is similar to what you’d experience closing the windows in a room.
