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.

Okay While they do dampen some noise, they're not effective at blocking out low frequency noises. The website notes that this, but I thought I'd give it a try. Blue color is attractive and they look good. Installation a bit confusing because the velcro is inset from the edges. Took longer than expected to receive the blinds. Overall, they're okay, just not very effective at fixing my particular issue.

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.

RIP OFF!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! This product is complete trash. Using a professional decibel meter while the curtains are up it 100% does not block out any sound or made a difference. Then they tell you there are no refunds which is complete bull and should be displayed on the ordering page. I've had to get my bank involved to get back $800, because I bought these overpriced curtains that do nothing but block out light. Save yourself the headache and stay far away from this scam of a company... Im prety sure they fake all their website reviews as 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.
