[@jenniferjones2722]

call-report it to animal control.

[@RemmikRotus]

@@jenniferjones2722 yup. We did the same and submitted six hours of the dogs barking non stop, most of the time, or every few minutes. Unfortunately, it takes at least 3 repoerts for them to send someone out,. It helped that one other neighbor complained as well. After the owners of the dogs were threatened with fines they finally got collar for them to stop barking. It's been quiet ever since, except for a few times where the batteries have died on the collars. Before this, talking to the owner nicely did not work. They are nice neighbors but pretty much gave us the free shrugs and "we don't know how to keep them from barking". It's amazing, after animal control gets on them, they find how to silence them. And by the way, we have triple pane glass. Although, even if we had STC glass it would not help with the dogs 10 feet from our window in the dining room.

[@trut52]

Did it work?

[@MR-zh1gc]

In our part of Texas the animal warden states the dog would have to be starving to death to take action, unlike,, when I was growing up years ago in another state. Law enforcement and animal wardens in much of Texas will just tell a neighbor to lower the noise but won't warn and fine which would end it. Today it seems like rude neighbors and nuisances are seen as a normal thing which I am sure you don't feel the same like I do. In Texas, they want to make a nuisance problem a private matter so you pay a lawyer. I think with leasing of homes and with Airbnb with home owners that own they want you to be the apartment manager while you own. That is not right and the politicians in various states have set up this which is many times a nuisance to people that own. I lived in an apartment for years and there was nothing bad about it. It is so much different these days.

[@MR-zh1gc]

That is mental torture. Why doesn't the jerk walk the dog? If he can't walk the dog he should have never got one. Typical of today people being rude and disturbed. If only a management company that manage home properties and law enforcement that can write tickets for fines would do something this would end. It is a different world these days and I am hearing through out the country there is these problems in many areas with nothing done.. Sorry you are going through this. You might need a lawyer to write a letter to take action and you need a window expert that is honest and see if this will work with hearing the dog barking. If nothing works and before you pay for windows that might not work. Good luck! Sorry to hear of your situation. I had to scream out of our house and we live in a good area but I noticed nuisances stop and come back with these kinds of anti-social people that don't think of others.

Definitely a great comparison. We sell the same brand of windows these guys do and I always thought, that triple pane glass reduces noise a lot. Having watched the video, I was hit with a hot ray of truth and understood that laminated glass is the best noise reducer, it was scientifically proofed by a noise measuring device.

[@mykharris007]

I am a DJ, and an engineer by trade. The problem with this video is that it doesn't address the low frequencies which make the "boom" "boom" that really bothers people. This is because today's music is heavily concentrated on the lower frequencies. These frequencies travel and react at a different speed than the higher frequencies. Humans do not have the ability to hear these frequencies, we more feel them. Which also makes them more difficult to cancel out. I suggest another field test with a 12" sub woofer outside the window and play some house music or rap music and repost this video. I like the idea, and I am interested in purchasing this or a similar product for one of my clients. I would like to see some more closely related field tests to my application. We are conducting research on a large window for a quiet office in a music studio.

[@superpaul4245]

Hey did you have any update on which window works with low frequency sounds? It's hard for me to find any information about it

[@openyaeyez]

Or you could conduct your own test so that it’s specific to your needs. I need a train horn tested. I don’t expect them to do that.

[@lindsey.buuuug]

Thank you for such a well thought out comment. The sounds you mentioned is the type of sounds that I have an extremely difficult time dealing with at present as I am sure many others are as well. This is also true regarding the sound of fireworks in that they parallel to the sound an active firearm in real life. Thanks again for your suggestion in your comment.

[@pauld6967]

I wasn't very impressed with the "reduction" when it was a leaf blower making the noise but it was definitely appreciable with the speaker & music. It seems like it would be worth looking into. The sound nuisance I need to mitigate is a nearby road with fairly constant traffic.

[@thetechlibrarian]

It’s different in person it’s not even so much that it takes all the noise away but certain frequencies bother us more than others tire makers do the same thing they can’t completely eliminate the sound but they can make the sound that the tires do you make the less harsh if that makes sense

Great video. I suppose that if you combine triple pane with laminated glasses, it would be the better soundproof.

[@trut52]

Doubtful, as also the air gap matters. Double glazing has around 16mm of air gap, triple glaze has 12. So you win some and lose some. Also triple glaze with laminate will be extremely heavy, upwards of 100 pounds for a simple window. Over time might sag. My balcony door with triple glazing is over 250 pounds.

[@hectorestrada4744]

Thank you!! finally a useful video on windows.

[@peterstindl5003]

It depends pretty much on the frequency you want to block. High or middle frequencies like from this small radio are easy to block. But if you have deep frequencies like the base from a speaker it gets a pretty different story. It also depends on the glass how thick it is. On the space between the glass and other things. So it might not been as easy as shown here...

[@skylineRichmond]

That's right! Low frequency noises are hardest to block and often what people are the most annoyed by (road traffic and low flying planes for example). Laminate glass always performs better than annealed glass at the same thickness, but there are a number of other factors that can play in. Some windows are tested and given an STC rating which is a helpful 3rd party rating that can be helpful in comparing options.

[@christinecrane4059]

Spoiler: the first two windows kept the sound down to 64 db. The laminate glass was 57 db. Decibels are not linear, so a 7 decibel reduction is actually much more than an 11% reduction.

[@skylineRichmond]

Correct. A 10 point reduction is close to cutting the noise level in half.

[@alanwong3989]

Yes, 57 dB is actually only about 20% of 64 dB. To human ears, a 7 dB reduction of noise level is obviously perceivable.

@skylineRichmond can you please tell me if the your window frame is aluminium or PVC? Someone said aluminium outproforms PVC in terms of soundproofing. What is the thickness of your laminated pane and what is the space between the 2 panes? Thank you.

[@skylineRichmond]

Hi Grace,The frame in this test in PVC with foam inside the frame. The laminated panes are 5/32nds of an inch, the air gap is 5/8th of an inch. If constructed the same PVCs should outperform aluminum in terms of sound proofing because it is a softer material and therefore won't carry the vibrations as well. But there are a lot of other factors that can come into play such as how air-tight the window is overall and if anything is put between the aluminum of vinyl walls to help deaden vibrations and insulate better. A well construction aluminum window could certainly out perform a poorly constructed PVC/Vinyl window and vice versa.
