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.

Item arrived defected, customer service only has ~10% response rate. Item arrived defected. Emailed customer service with no response for a week. Finally call answered and was asked to send back for warranty repair. Since then, no response to emails and phone calls for weeks. Ordered one month ago, still got nothing.

We needed a product that would help us… turn a den into a nursery We needed a product that would help us turn a den into a nursery for baby #2 by closing off an open doorway into the room to block light & sound but still allowing us to come in and out. After learning that other methods (sheetrock, accordian doors, etc) couldnt work, Residential Acoustics was able to create a large, custom fitted acoustic curtain that we could hang and slide open and closed as needed. The curtain does a great job keep light and sound out to keep the baby asleep while still allowing air to flow. The staff were super helpful in coming up with this creative solution to our problem and getting the product to us in time! Thanks Residential Acoustics!

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.

Poor Customer Service Do not buy this product. After following the measuring guide as well as contacting the company before purchasing, the product I received did not fit our windows. The perimeter seal is attached very sloppily and is not square on the curtain so it does not line up with our window sill. After talking with customer service, the only option available to me was to pay $150 to have them redo it. That being said, I also think the product looks worse than it does in the photos on their website. Avoid this overpriced poor product.
