The soundproofing level of windows in an apartment can vary depending on several factors, such as the window quality, thickness of glass, insulation, and window frame design. Generally, modern windows are better at sound insulation than older ones. Specifically, windows made of laminated glass or double/triple glazed windows tend to offer improved soundproofing. Additional features like rubber seals and thick window frames can further enhance sound reduction.
While it is difficult to quantify the exact soundproofing level of apartment windows, high-quality soundproof windows can reduce noise transmission significantly, blocking out a considerable amount of external noise like traffic, sirens, or construction sounds. However, it is important to note that no window can completely eliminate all sounds.
