soundproof windows

Noise-blocking glass panes

Soundproof windows are windows designed to block or significantly reduce outside noise from entering a building.

They typically use thicker glass, multiple panes, or laminated layers with air gaps between them.

The term is somewhat optimistic—no window eliminates sound completely, but quality ones can dramatically reduce traffic noise, aircraft sounds, or noisy neighbors: We installed soundproof windows and finally got some sleep.
