Helps enormously in NYC! The curtains really do help lessen the loud street noises in NYC. My only issue is that the hooks were not strong enough to hang the curtains--perhaps because my ceiling to floor length curtains were especially heavy. Fortunately, my handyman was able to reinforce the hooks with additional hardware, so my curtains are secure.

Doesn’t work as advertised RA customer service is bad , tried calling for two weeks , nothing , emailed multiple times , nothing , once you pay for something it’s done , nobody will be willing to help , that will finally respond but that response is as good as nothing. As far as product goes , I agree it’s very well made , however it doesn’t work as advertised , I really don’t know how this can work after trying it out, I was really hoping it would but it doesn’t . I end up spending all together approx $500 and I can throw them out.

Good looking, smooth installation, no perceivable difference in noise level I was excited for this product. Buy it if the only thing you care about is blocking light. If there is any difference in how they block street noise is not significant enough to improve your sleep quality. I'm still waking up at 5:30AM together with the traffic. At least they look nice :) I'd hate taking them off after making all those holes in my window frame. My experience makes me question the origin of the reviews on this site, but oh well.

It just works...okay The ordering and delivery experience was excellent. As far as product functionality, I would not buy this curtain again. It is very cumbersome to roll up and down and already has started to curl at the bottom. It barely blocks low frequency noises at all (in fairness, this is explained, so I knew that ahead of time) but does provide a little bit of relief from other outside noises. If this product were $150 cheaper, I would say it's fine, but otherwise not worth the cost! It is excellent at blocking out sunlight though.

Completely blown away I was skeptical at first but boy, what a difference. I live in a 1920s house with older windows that let a lot of sound through. This curtain completely transformed my living room -- it's like being in a solitary bubble. A bonus that I didn't expect is that the curtain has thermal properties as well; it's helped to keep my room cooler in the Florida heat (not to mention blocking a lot of light!). It did take 2 weeks to receive my curtain, but it was totally worth it. The company was responsive to my emails too, which is nice.
