“Work well. Don’t get rid of low rumbles but I didn’t expect them to. They work well for most noise frequencies though.”

Chuck, Thanks for the feedback. We are glad the inserts are working out for you. Thanks for pointing out the reality of low frequencies. Due to the nature of low frequency sound waves, the rumbles can travel through a wider variety of materials in your home (walls, etc.) We are glad to hear our inserts are providing good performance on the other sound frequencies and giving you the quiet you desire.

“I like the inserts a great deal, but the delivery time was six months -- much longer than originally quoted.”

Thanks for the feedback. We certainly understand your concerns and frustrations surrounding the lead times. These unprecedented, pandemic-related supply chain issues have indeed been formidable challenges for us as a company as well as so many others in the manufacturing sector. It is true that many original lead times had to be adjusted due to the unpredictable nature of these supply chain issues. Throughout, we have done our best to be transparent about the changing realities and inform our customers of the effects on their orders. We are truly glad that you, like so many others, are happy with the quality and usefulness of our inserts. We remain committed to providing the comfort and quiet that our inserts provide as quickly and efficiently as we can.

“I have 4 Indow window inserts made. I was very impressed by the product received, overall quality and would order again as the need arises. Due to the current supply chain shortages, it did take longer than originally estimated. However, Indow kept me completely informed as to status and showed strong concern for customer satisfaction.”

“It helped to muffle noise. It reduced the noise by about 10 dB. I live by a moderately busy street. The noise of cars is still annoying level. Indow insert doesn't seem to reduce the rumbling sound of loud cars and motorcycles much. The noise still wakes me up. Without Indow inserts, we were not able to sleep in a bedroom. Now, at least, I can sleep in the bedroom. My wife still needs to sleep in a walk-in closet due to the noise.”

Eiichi, Thanks for the review and feedback. We are sorry to hear that our inserts have only partially addressed your noise issue. All sound situations differ, with sound traveling through other materials than just the window openings. We remain available to ensure that our inserts are fit properly and are maximized for noise dampening.

“I am 100% satisfied with my inserts. As most people know, being a recording musician requires that you filter out as much outside noise as possible. If you’re anything like me, I don’t own the place I’m living in, and certainly don’t have the money to make my room 100% soundproof, so I was determined to find a viable solution. My search led me to the Indow Window website and the rest is history. I no longer have to listen to cicadas all throughout the day, my neighbor’s dog is less irritating, and I can finally get a sense of peace from this noisy world.”

Anthony, Thanks for the great review. We are so glad that our inserts worked for your music recording needs. You bring up a good point regarding the inobtrusive nature of our product. The fact that our inserts require no hardware makes it a perfect option for those who do not own the place they live. Thanks again for the feedback and happy recording to you.

“Unfortunately I am extremely disappointed in the product and the service through the shipping process and would not recommend this product. I originally ordered this product through thorough research of competitors based on noise reduction in my bedroom. I live across the street from a train and on a moderately busy street. My goal was to reduce the train's horn noise throughout the day and night and this product has not met my expectations. The window insert has reduced car noise, however has done nothing for the train noise sound. I confirmed with reps over and over prior to purchasing the product and they reassured me that this insert would be great for my issue - however here we are. I am out a large sum of money with a product that does not meet expectations. In addition, the shipping process was absolutely terrible. First, you need to purchase the product after a deposit for measurement tools - I waited months and months with no feedback on why the product was taking so long. I asked constantly and finally received a response that product was being shipped soon. I received a call from a third party shipping telling me a timeslot the product would be coming, however with no email confirmation which was a bit sketchy. Hopefully this review helps others.”

Justin, Thanks for the additional feedback. Once again, are sorry to hear that your are not experiencing the noise reduction that your were expecting. We remain available to troubleshoot the fit of the insert in order to ensure the sound dampening properties are maximized. It is true that we do we require a deposit for our laser measuring kit. In your situation, this deposit amount was applied to the order once the order was finalized. To be clear, for those who do not continue with an order, the deposit is refunded. Regarding your comments about the shipping process and communication, while we do not necessarily agree with every element of your characterization, we certainly know that there are areas we need to improve and appreciate your engagement in this process. As stated in our previous response, the lead times and shipping timelines were adversely affected by pandemic-related issues. We have tried all along to be transparent about these issues and communicate them as thoroughly as possible. We understand the impact this has on our customers and certainly look forward to more reasonable lead times in the future.

“They reduce external noise, but not to the extent I was hoping for. They do not appear to increase energy efficiency during the summer due to install location, but I expect them to help during the winter.”

“Unfortunately I am very disappointed in the product for numerous reasons. Shipping took almost 5 months and all I heard from the company was supply chain issues. Secondary, the product doesn’t work nearly as expected. It has dampened car traffic down some however the entire point of the product was to dampen the train’s horn from near my home. The product has done absolutely nothing for this and I am horrified that I spent a large some of money for see through plastic that doesn’t do much. Unfortunately I don’t suggest this product for anything for than a bit of traffic noise.”

Justin, Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear that your are not experiencing the noise reduction that your were expecting. All sound situations are different, as sounds can enter through materials/areas other than the window openings. We are available to troubleshoot the fit of the insert in order to ensure the sound dampening properties are maximized. As to the delays regarding manufacturing and delivery of the product, it is true that lead times and delivery were considerably affected by the supply chain issues involving both material distribution and labor (especially with acrylic and silicone).

We understand the impact this has on our customers and remain committed to making and delivering our inserts as efficiently as we can.

“It reduces the traffic sounds quite a bit but not fully. Perhaps they need to be a little thicker.”

Thanks for the feedback. We are glad to hear the inserts are reducing the traffic noise. We appreciate your suggestion and are always looking for ways to improve. While we feel our acoustic grade thickness provides a great balance of performance, cost, and weight, we always take such feedback seriously. Thanks for engaging with us in this process.

“The 4 month wait was way to long , the fit was tight the thought of removing them to open a window for a cool Day etc is really not something you want to do just because of the work it take to get back in and seal just right,as far as the sound benefits yes it works except for the loud trucks and motorcycles. I live on a corner lot and my wife complained all the time about the noise since we installed the indow windows she no longer minds it”

Thanks for the feedback. We are glad to hear the inserts are providing the quiet you and your wife were hoping for. We truly appreciate you mentioning the fit and seal of our inserts. Not only does this snug fit keep the inserts firmly in place and provide a way to remove the inserts with simple effort, it also is essential to the noise reduction and energy savings properties. We acknowledge that it can sometimes take a small bit of time to re-establish the seal, but we have resources and tips available to help folks make short work of this. As to the lead times, we certainly appreciate your patience. We have good reason to look forward optimistically regarding timelines. We are poised to reduce lead times when supply chain issues begin to change. Thanks again for your review.

“To me, this was a long shot solution to isolate (my own) noise from neighbors, so when I installed them, I didn't have very high expectations, but darn I was wrong. They work like a charm. Provided you do the measurements right, the system does indeed deliver the value it promises. The installation was simple and the packaging was excellent. If you can endure the long wait times, the final result will not disappoint.”

Diana, Great to hear. So glad you mentioned how "invisible" they appear in the window. This is an aspect that so many customers are looking for in an interior storm window. The optical grade acrylic (clearer than glass) and unobtrusive trim really do help retain focus on what is important: the view, and the look of the existing window. Thanks again for the review.
