What is a sound barrier?

Acoustic absorbing drapery is designed to absorb sound more effectively than regular decorative curtains. These noise reduction curtains are made from sound-absorbing material and can be used wherever ambient light control and control of acoustic reflections off glass are needed.



Do noise-blocking curtains really work in this instance?

Yes, soundproof curtains can be effective. While they won't provide complete isolation (which would require re-construction of your room), they will reduce the noise as well as reverberations within the room. You can also consider soundproof windows if you wish to take it one step further.

Subsequently, question is, do velvet curtains reduce noise? However, they are not good at absorbing sound. If you have an echo in your space, soundproof curtains will not work. Instead, you should look for sound-absorbing curtains such as velvet, Velour, or other heavy plush materials. These curtains won't do much to block out noise from entering your space.

What are soundproof curtains made from?

You can choose from a variety of materials. However, curtains should have extra fibers. Polyester, suede and velvet are the most popular fabrics for soundproof curtain. Soundproof curtains can also be made from cotton duck fabric.
