We were hanging it up over a doorway, and testing the acoustic blocking properties with sound measuring equipment and a white noise generator. It was quite effective, although heavy to hang up! Maybe roller shutters outside might be a good option, apart from the obvious sound insulation in the walls and double glazing? I'm a shift worker too!

We live in an area where there are some yapping dogs around the estate a couple of people who must work at night and you can hear a bit of that traffic noise. Wondering if they are worth investing in just to try and get a better nights sleep! To be short, there probably is no such thing as noise cancelling curtains that you are looking for. Maybe thicker curtains made of sound-absorbing materials can dampen some outside noise, particularly higher-frequency sounds like barking dogs, but it can not deflect all the sounds you necessarily want. It also depends on how well you windows are sealed etc. Consider earplugs which are a way more affordable option or sleep with 'white noise' Re: Noise cancelling curtains? 7Jul 30, 2024 9:04 pm I recently explored noise-canceling curtains because our neighborhood can be quite loud with barking dogs and nighttime traffic. During my research, I discovered that these curtains, made from heavy, dense fabric, can significantly reduce outside noise. They won't eliminate all sounds, but they can create a quieter environment, which can improve sleep quality. If you're looking into options, linen curtains might be worth checking out. They aren't as heavy as traditional noise-canceling curtains, but their natural, breathable fabric can still offer some sound insulation, especially if you layer them. Using a combination of noise-canceling and linen curtains could provide both noise reduction and an attractive look for your home. It's definitely something to consider if noise is impacting your sleep. Why isn't Darbecca advising you? You could go through the whole process and find that VBA merely reprimands the builder.
