Great article! We have some friends who grow grapes here in North Dakota. If we had a fence, I’d do it myself! Maybe someday!

Comment on What’s All This Noise About Soundproof Windows? by Jane

When we were soundproofing our house a few years earlier we first used only the windows that you put behind your existing windows. The installation was pretty easy – it took only a half a Saturday for my hubby to do it. These windows had good soundproofing abilities but the real problem started in the summer, when we needed to ventilate the house but we couldn’t get the windows fully opened, because they were blocking each other. Therefore after two years we decided to get our windows completely replaced for the soundproofing ones – they were a little bit pricey but they have better soundproofing abilities and also the look better in our house. But this was only the first step of soundproofing our home – we also needed to dampen the sound coming in from around the windows and ceiling. We used a special sound breaker bars for this. It wasn’t really easy to install them so they wouldn’t be a complete eyesore but we managed it and now we have the most peaceful and quiet house in the neighborhood!
