Aside from the noise generated by an overwhelming number of trucks and cars, the entire stretch of 2nd Avenue has been under construction building a train tunnel under the roadway. The noise outside is so bad that a number of surrounding apartment buildings have actually been damaged from the constant banging of equipment digging the tunnel. I could no longer deal with the constant banging so I turned to the internet for a solution. I quickly found my solution at the Soundproof Window Treatments website. Richard was great to work with explaining all details and steps along the way. The window treatments look beautiful and work fantastically! Thank you Soundproof Window Treatments!
