Sound Proof Windows?
Moving back into the city is a big trend today, but the sound of a traffic whizzing by outside can make even your million dollar ultra-hip loft less peaceful than you'd like. To help deaden the sounds of traffic, noisy neighbors, airports and the like, some window manufacturers are working to come up with sound-proof glass for people's homes. While Old Castle Glass's laminated acoustical glass doesn't quite block out all sound, it could be a big improvement over what you have in your house now. Instead of using straight glass, the windows are sandwiches with glass on both sides and a layer of plastic in between.
