Say Goodbye To City Noise
A: Passing this one along. Thank you to Carol Taxon of Corcoran for bringing me this tip for everyone out there that is tired of New York City Noise. CityQuiet.com focuses on installing QUIET WINDOWS that supposedly reduces City Noise by up to 95%. A great tip for any homeowner on a heavily trafficked avenue, especially if you are looking to sell; buyers want quiet!
CityQuiet's Product Features Include:
According to the website, CitiQuiet will fabricate and install a custom Interior Soundproof Window to mimic the existing window, in style and function. It is also noted that the simple installation does NOT require any construction or alteration to the existing window.
Current styles of windows that can be soundproofed are shown below.
*NOTE: I would love to hear some feedback from anyone that has actually used this company. Carol Taxon has mentioned that she heard nothing but good things about CityQuiet, but I personally have never used them!

I used another soundproof window company, Cityproof, which is also based in NYC. I live on third ave and these windows really knocked out the noise. I couldn't sleep without them!

I was so pleased and impressed with the products and services of CitiQuiet Soundproof Windows that I just had to respond to you. They can be found on the web at http://www.citiquiet.com
I love the city, the excitement, the culture, everything a person could want - except the noise. The truth is I don’t even mind the noise when I am outside in the middle of the hustle and bustle of city life, but when I am in my apartment or at work in my office, the racket gets to me. At home I couldn’t unwind and relax, much less fall asleep, and in my office I often found the noise distracting.
All this changed shortly after I contacted CitiQuiet Soundproof Windows. My intention was simply to have my apartment soundproofed. However, after CityQuiet did such a phenomenal job of installing their soundproof windows in my home, I had them do the same for my accounting offices. At home, my entire family, including my 4-year-old son, enjoyed the calm and quiet. We all slept better and consequently, woke up more refreshed. Every activity at home, including inactivity, was more relaxing. We kept all the benefits of living in the city without the drawback of a noisy home. Not only were their soundproof windows great, CitiQuiet’s service was great. They were knowledgeable, professional and courteous as well as easy on the pocketbook. At work everyone noticed the difference and my office was transformed into a more productive workplace. Instead of gathering at the windows to see what the sirens and horns were all about, we focused on our clients and the work at hand.
Thank you CitiQuiet! I have not hesitated in recommending them to anyone I felt could benefit from the elimination of noise pollution in their homes or at work.
