MN Trains
CADoes nothing vs train horns Purchased after reading a review on their website saying it was effective vs train noise. There is a train track a half mile away that hoots in the middle of the night. The curtains do not dampen that noise at all. They mildly dampen other noises, but do not do anything towards the reason I purchased them. I should have done more research on reviews before committing $700. Frankly, I feel like I've been scammed.

GBOkay 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.

GBCompletely 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.

GBWe 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!

GBThe instructions were missing a few… The instructions were missing a few details like rotating the piece that holds the bar in place. The curtain makes absolutely zero difference in noise level. The magnetic strip is pulled off the wall by the weight of the curtain.
