Siding Replacement: How Can It Reduce Outdoor Noise?

Siding replacement can significantly improve your home’s aesthetic appeal, weather protection and energy efficiency. It can increase your property’s value and make your indoor spaces more comfortable. Another great thing about new siding is that it can contribute to a quieter and more peaceful living environment. 

Keep reading to learn how siding replacement can reduce outdoor noise transmission. 

Siding and Sound Transmission

Different types of siding offer varying degrees of sound insulation. For instance, vinyl performs well for noise frequencies below 4,000 Hz. Material weight and thickness also play a vital role in your siding’s ability to block outdoor noise. Thicker and heavier options provide more mass to absorb and deflect sound waves. You can consult an experienced siding contractor to determine which material thickness suits your noise reduction needs. 

More Ways to Soundproof Your Home

Beyond siding, several other strategies can help to soundproof your home. If you still have outdated single-pane windows, you will notice enhanced peace and quiet in your living space after replacing them with multipane units. Windows with multiple panes of glass can also improve indoor comfort and help you save on energy costs by providing additional insulation.  

Trees produce oxygen, eliminate airborne contaminants and bring life to your landscaping. They can also act as a natural barrier against noise. When strategically placed around your property, they can reduce sound transmission by up to 40%.
