I've read all the informative posts. Thanks! I'm going to try
completely covering my three large windows, in the hopes of reducing the amount
of sound escaping into my yard and into the neighbors' ears.
Would I be better off covering the windows with MDF or Owens Corning
703 insulation sheets? As I understand it, the mass of the MDF board is a
sound barrier, to some extent. The 703 would absorb the sound to some extent.
I'm not sure which would result in fewer db's escaping through the windows, but
I suspect it would be the MDF, since it is so much denser than the 703.
Any input is greatly appreciated! I'd like to buy and install
whichever choice this weekend. I plan to have it cut to cover the recessed
window openings, fastening it to the wall with about 2" to spare on all sides
of the window sills.
Thanks!
