Will changing window help with traffic noise?
I have a window that needs a new sash and can either have the sash replaced or get a new window. I was quoted an Anderson window with upgraded glass that is supposed to reduce sound transmission. The bedroom the window is in has a wall facing a major road and a fair amount of traffic noise can be heard in the room. I am not sure how much of the sound is coming through the window versus the wall and ceiling. The upstairs of my home is aluminum sided and I there is definitely less traffic noise on the first floor that has brick siding. I don't want to get a new window unless it will make a significant difference in the traffic noise in the bedroom so wanted to post here to get opinions. Thank you. submitted by /u/adamsdp1 [link] [comments]
