How Much Do Soundproof Windows Cost
The cost of a soundproof window depends on the type of window you’re looking to soundproof. We divide the universe up into two types of window customers:
-
- Residential or commercial customers looking to soundproof an exterior facing window
- Commercial customers with architectural specs requiring a certain STC rating
If either of those describes you, keep reading for cost information on a soundproof window. As always, please reach out to us if you want to discuss your specific project!
Exterior Facing Soundproof Window Cost
Depending on the soundproofing method, the cost of soundproofing a window is between $100 - $1000. The world is a noisy place. Whether it’s your work from home office or your bedroom, having some peace and quiet will improve your quality of life. When looking for how to block noise from an outside window, you basically have 2 options.
1. Cost of soundproofing windows by replacing the existing windows
Replacing the windows in your home is a big project, and soundproofing results are not guaranteed. If your windows need replacing though, they need replacing.

2. Cost of window soundproofing by covering the existing windows
To soundproof an existing window without replacing it, the key is to create an airtight seal over the existing window with a dense barrier. You basically have 3 options.

- Find the densest/heaviest curtains you can find and install them extended well past the edges of the window. We hesitate to call them “soundproof curtains” because they won’t be airtight, and they won’t be rated for STC. Results: minimal (1-4 db)
- Cover the window with a dense, soundproof material like Luxury Liner mass loaded vinyl or a soundproof blanket like Quiet Quilt 2-Sided Blanket. You won’t be able to see out your window anymore, but with an airtight installation – good sound reduction is possible. Results: moderate (4-7 db)
- Install a Fantastic Frame soundproof window insert over the existing window. The Fantastic Frame inserts are a great DIY window soundproofing option that are custom-built with removable frames that create an airtight seal over the existing window. They are also great for skylight window soundproofing. Our soundproofing tech in the frames allows them to improve window insulation and reduce noise through the window up to 80%. Results: significant (10-20 db)
