Does Insulated Vinyl Siding Reduce Noise?
As the inventors of insulated vinyl siding, we have received hundreds of testimonials from customers over the years claiming that insulated vinyl siding made their homes quieter than before the siding was installed. Whether the noise was a neighbor’s barking dog, street traffic sounds, or a heavy thunderstorm, wrapping the home in a layer of insulation seemed to dampen noises from the outside. Despite many of these claims, it has been difficult to answer the question "Does insulated vinyl siding reduce noise?", until now. We commissioned a third-party test laboratory to conduct a sound transmission loss test to determine how much insulated vinyl siding products truly reduce noise on exterior wall assemblies.
At a high level, the results obtained through testing confirmed that insulated vinyl siding can reduce noise by up to 39% compared to the base wall tested. This confirmed homeowner claims that having insulated vinyl siding installed made their homes quieter than before. In addition, testing showed that insulated vinyl siding reduces sound transmission 8 x's more than fiber cement.
