Soundproof Windows Designed & Manufactured in New York City
The Cityproof Citiwindow® System creates an acoustical sound barrier that provides from 50% up to 95% noise elimination and soundproofing. Cityproof windows significantly reduce many different types of noise including street noise, sirens, alarms, construction site heavy machinery, overhead aircraft, buses, sanitation trucks and delivery trucks.
