- Reducing outside noise from traffic, barking dogs, neighbors, and the occasional lawn mower can be challenging when you have a home studio. This is what Indow specializes in. Treating your space with the proper acoustic treatment is important, but windows are usually overlooked. So what do you do when your goal is to keep outside noise out while keeping your music in so that your neighbors don't complain about you making too much noise? Well, I found the perfect solution in the form on Acoustic Grade Window Inserts from a company called Indow and I wanted to share my experiences with you as well as review the Indow Window Inserts that I'm now using.

Have you treated your space with any acoustic treatment? Has outside noise been an issue for you as well? Let me know as a comment below or as a reply to this comment. Have a great day!
Yes Adam. I moved to this new quieter neighborhood only to discover that I had noisy neighbours with livestock and kids. 😂
My dogs name is Koda too. Thanks for the info they look way better than blacked out windows.
AdamIvy I’ve got just a little bit of sound proofing and acoustic treatment 😜 This looks pretty cool!
please make a video about copyrights and reaction videos
Yes! Treated my studio for access noise and echo with panels but every 15 mins bus has a root right past my studio window lol🙄
$500 a window is a lot, but not hearing leaf blowers when I work or sleep....priceless.
That’s nothing. Four full windows are $2,200 if you’re not a sponsor. Normal, open and close windows. $2,200. Seriously. I’m just going to buy bulletproof glass at this point.
Grosly overpriced Im buying in canadian funds can you imagine a medium size window 500$ usd= 640$ cad I have a priority of a balcony wide window with glass door in my bedroom 3 times a medium size window, Right! 😅
@@HealingQuest777 it’s insanity. I don’t know who is paying for that. I have “two” double windows. So four, but they would’ve used only two pieces of their product. One big piece for each double window. So…..two. Two pieces of what I assume is plastic of some sort, for over $2,200.
@@HealingQuest777 send some UA-camrs some discounted or free shit though….boom you’ve got leads lol. And they seem to have sent them to every sound inspired UA-camr
@@uncle1886 Lol these companies are greedy they really are not targetting someone on a budget but millionnaires owning buildings in noisy downtown... not realistic at all
Thank you Adam! Currently building a studio in my room and this video is everything I needed
In high school we got the opportunity to build a studio in a large closet. It was the best time, I loved just getting to spend time in the booth. I’m working on getting everything back to that same level to start recording again. Cheers!
Pacific People that’s an amazing project!
Not a good test, as you had almost no noise coming through to begin with.
Such a great idea. Thanks Adam nice video and I loved the cinematic part lol
Natural sunlight actually helps with depression and motivation. I find that I work better with sunlight coming into the room whether I'm doing homework or working on music, so this was incredibly helpful.
You the man i been listening for about a year now learned alot
Oh god...I'm looking for a way to reduce noise coming into my apartment but for those prices for something I don't own (the apartment building), i can't afford it :(
Ooo this is interesting. I live maybe 50-80 feet away from a major highway, so I can literally see it from the window in my home studio. It's never really been a problem per se, even when recording vocals (compared to central air), the only issue is when its rush hour or when people are honking. That being said, it would be nice to reduce the noise.
Interesting
The cinematic touch 👌🏻😂😂♥️🔥🔥
I was looking for this comment, right. 😂😄🔥
In Denmark the apartments are super insulated and triple glazed so outside noise isn’t a problem, howeverrrrr my apartment is SO reverby haha so any acoustic treatment wisdom is always appreciated 😅
oh gosh, this makes me extremely jealous, things in Mexico are always good enough, but never perfect.
Thanks for the videos man! I’m just starting to get this music thing going and I really appreciate how you’ve made so much knowledge easily accessible to those of that are just starting out. Also, I’m also from Florida so it’s cool to know you are too lol
Yooo I've never known you were from Florida! 305 Here. blessings and thank you for all your videos and help!
Oh my gosh! This is exactly what i need, is this available in the philippines? I wonder also how much these cost?
I have about 4-5 windows and a large sliding glass window due to large house parties next door at the short term rental homes. Need relief and want to try this out. Cost might be too much, but going to try. I am in Florida too.
I heard of Indow but wasn’t sure about them. Thanks for making this video.
Good review, thanks for sharing!
this is gonna be expensive af
This video is super helpful for me! I'm getting ready to move into my new house and setting up my studio and this is going to be a great solution for me. Thank you for such an in depth and thorough video!
Nice that u do Videos like that
Love your voice. Thank you for the solution. I need something like this badly due to noise neighbors
Thank you for taking the time to do this! I am ordering some soon due to traffic and planes which are driving me crazy-er. ;)
After not getting a call back after 2 tries, we are going to do the plexiglass ourselves. They finally called, after publicly shaming them for not returning our calls and said it would take 4 months. Really? Never mind! They also only offer 1/4 inch, which will not work as well as a 3/8. You would think they would offer a variety of widths. It would have cost $1800 vs $400 to $600 to do it ourselves.
What camera do you use for your videos Im looking to invest in one for my UA-cam videos in the coming months @adamivy
Now this is originality - I like how you put real thought and love into your videos. Just wish I'd seen this before I'd taped 40 egg boxes to my window (jokes - but those were the days!) I like to be completely isolated when working; helps me focus and really 'go for it' when recording. Adam - do you have anything that will block out a moaning wife and 2 screaming kids?
Thank you for this i cant wait to build my studio
Great review, thanks! I'm going to call them in the morning!
There alil pricey, the cost depends on the size of your window. I couldnt afford them unfortunately.
thanks adam 💪💪
This looks like a great idea to but in the studio 🔥
Thank you for making this video. But I have to ask. Are those patio doors in your office ? I need something exactly like this but have only found patio doors
Great idea, I'm going to send this video to my son, thank you
Wow! Nice!
Funny thing is that I couldn't hear the compressor before he put in the sound proofing window that happens to be priced at or about the price of replacing the house window and I believe they did that on purpose I think that I could actually find triple payne windows and put them in sealing the sides to be air tight plus repair any sheetrock if necessary for that price!
Bruv thank you for this
I've been using two box fans over summer and white noise and a air conditioner in my room. I live near two busy roads and deal with neighbors and their power tools or mowers. This is such a life saver. I don't hear w thing outside anymore. Unless I take my dog out otherwise its not an every waking moment thing issue anymore for me. Box fans are pretty affordable. I advise you to get some to block out those annoying mowers.
Does anyone know of a company in the UK that offers something similar? Got a neighbour with a yapping dog that wakes me up and we've got old double glazing which we can't replace right now.
Any idea for a 240cm X 180cm large windows? Or just a general DIY solution like this? Got alot of traffic and I do alot of music etc. Got a nice view so Idl iike to keep that.
Hey man! Love your videos they've been super helpful to me, I don't know if this is a thing you planned on doing but you should trasnscribe your videos on your website for people who like to read your content and not so much watching videos, that would be great!
Great. The only thing is. How can you open the window, once you’ve put that stuff round it!! I would LOVE something like this. I live over a school & the bloody kids are driving me nuts. Screaming & shouting off & on from 9am-6pm. I’m right over their sodding playground. Plus there’s an awful pe teacher that shouts all the time. I feel i’ll have a breakdown if i don’t do something with my windows. Thanks for the tip. Good luck with the studio!
I woke up around 6 am with noise at my new house and found your video. Going to my laptop to order this now
So cool!
Is the panel made of glass or plastic I have a huge 125cm by 63cm window that is super noisy and very drafty but I am afraid it will be to heavy if it is all glass and cost alot to ship.
im listening to try and hear the compressor but your background music is still on. does it work?
I live next to a busy road and railway line, was so excited to order one of these but they don’t ship to the uk ☹️
Alisa Marie any solution for uk? I have the same problem here
I am in UK. I will do a DIY window plug.
Did anyone find any other solution available in the UK?
@@indreurbonaite5886 in the end I sealed all my windows with tape inside and out and filled the window with pillows, it seems to have lessened the noise quite a bit. I gave up looking for a window plug as no one could make me one.
@@AlisaMarie thanks for the reply!!
Thank you for the demonstration, enjoyed the video! Have you tried to compare the noise reduction performance of the Indow insert with a triple panes window, apart from cost impact? We are researching best solutions, we have similar situation as yours. I am having a dual panes but still hear whenever cars passing by the road outside the window. Thank you!
Lmao 😂 this’ gotta be cinematic!!! #projectbadass
Good video, cool dude.
Would you recommend these to tune out a barking symphony that plays 24/7?
Not having natural and the way it makes you feel is a REAL thing. Sunlight is a must and it is non-negotiable
Great piece of kit!! But I'm guessing you cant open the windows with them inserts ☹
I need this!
If you are in the process of building a house or installing new windows, just go for double/triple glazed windows. Works the same way but already incorporated in your window.
Great vid! Going to order a set for my living room double window. Hopefully I can quiet down my ridiculously noisy neighbors. They yell when they talk. Get 3 or more together and you'd swear they were fighting! FOR HOURS! EVERY DAY!
Did it work?
@Juan Carlos Perez The wife and I ordered new windows for the house. Really needed it on our '86 home. Ordered the soundproof windows & made a huge difference. Very expensive but worth it.
Glad to hear to hear it!! I just moved into an apartment and I’m right next to the light rail and a bar not to far from me. I wanted to make a small wall with these foam pieces so I can place them on my window when it’s time to sleep and take them off for when we want some natural light.
@Juan Carlos Perez Give it a try Jaun. I initially really wanted to try them but after considering I would need them for every window on the one whole side of my house to be effective, we just bit the bullet and went for new windows that were needed anyways. Best of luck man!
My next door neighbor (woman) has no idea about a gentle woman’s voice... when she talks she yells...
MAN.!!!! 🙌🏾 I really appreciate you making this video that has been one of my BIGGEST issues with my studio as well. I’m about to order it now, thank you 🙏🏾
KYRO the EGYPTIAN did u get them? Do they work well for road noise?
Great video. You might want to cut any additional sound if you're demonstrating something requiring close listening. You had music playing really low throughout which confused me when I was listening closely to your bud in the driveway. Again, great video. Thanks.
get that bag, adam!!
Do they also have a soundproof window for a velux window?
Is it ok if I just use like the mic shield for my "soundproof"...I got a really small garage and pretty good equipment...I just got no acoustic treatment so I wanna know if I need to soundproof the whole room or I can just use the mic shield
Skizzurp idk what your outside noise is like but personally I live next to a busy road and a mic shield doesn’t nearly cut it.. I’d try to make a makeshift vocal booth if I were you
@@JosiahHodson ty for helping 😄💚
I wish there was a way for me to have these while keeping the cellular shades already installed. I don't want the blinds installed on the outside of the window frames.
Can you do a video on sound proofing my ninja blender, I stop using it because it's too loud for my neighbors and for my ears
i am in Jamaica (Caribbean), how can i get it for my windows?
If the edges are a bit of to one side of of the panel . You place the panel on the window and push it in [ without having to work squeeze like that ]
The sides should have a locking mechanism in the rubbery tubes that when it centers after you push it , it should lock .
Just an idea . Not saying that I know how it can be done .
The dog looked worried lol
Do you have any tips for noise reduction or cancellation with doors?

^^^ Everything you will need to know about improving the sound of your room including addressing doors.
lol 😆 i love the melodramatic
Need these so I can sleep at night in NYC.
At the beginning of the video you talk about using foam, ext to eleminate sound. This is my only concern and I don't care about seeing out the window. My primary focus is sleeping. I have a neurological disorder called misophonia where I'm severely bothered by barking dogs, traffic noise, ext. I'm curious how you did the old diy version.
If you don’t care to use the window at all for light or air flow (you have to remove the Indow Inserts for airflow anyway) then I would just build out a wood frame within your window cavity, pack it with rock wool, then build another acoustic panel over that for double layer absorption.
@@adamivy Thanks for your awesome quick response. This advice should help me. I really appreciate it.
what do you do if you want to open the window ? I guess that's not really an option. ?
whats the thickness of acrylic sheets?
Great video! I’m trying to find out how effective Indow window inserts are at keeping out the sub bass. We have a loud neighbor with an insane outdoor sound system with sub. As you know, those low frequencies go through everything, including walls. Have you been able to test that (or could you) by having a loud car system perhaps parked in your driveway playing rap or pop/edm? I realize these things I’ll do wonders though for those who on,y want to diminish stuff going do to around 200 hz.
Very good point. It definitely helps, but those low frequencies pass through walls and though I noticed a difference it’s mainly designed for mid to high frequencies.
@@adamivy Damn you physics!!
I was recording today and had 2 super loud motorcycles drive past my window. I hate it lol
I hate them. Those people have no respect for the world around them.
@@EnlightenedGaming They’re the worst! I absolutely hate those stupid loud motorcycles!
I got a train track a mile away but at night the freight trains run like crazy. I would wake up after a dream just to find myself fighting against the horns. Thanks
Hey Koda and Daisy!
damn, that was cinematic
cinematic hahahaha this great
The HOA installed a fountain outside my house and it runs 12 hours a day! Absolutely driving me crazy but $500 per window is a lot of money. Great idea though. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the price which sounds ridiculous to me by the way haha.
@@reviewriot honestly, you know it’s a lot when you’re half way in a 10 minute + video and it’s not mentioned. Shit you know it’s expensive when they send you a laser measurement tool
Thanks so much, my house is on a turn so I hear honks all day. This helped me
Yung Sten how well does it work for road noise? Do you recommend I buy them?
@@cascaderetriever7618 Yeah, it works well for road noise, although it isnt very helpful if someone is making noise in your house
@@katana9168 do you mean if people are making noise in your house they can hear it outside?
Man. Y’all are made of money. I had four functional normal size windows. (Two double windows, one living one bedroom). Over $2,200. You guys know what windows cost right? Might as well replace with bulletproof glass. This is a legit number from a legit estimate this month, with this company.
I just threw a producers choice blanket over the window, works pretty well for 60 bucks.
got a link?
Is it 1/4 glass
Or Plexi glass
Gracias brot
How much do they cost
500 per window plus shipping??
The moment he said, "...I feel depressed, I know it can sound dramatic but - *shurbs shoulders* it's how I feel" not only did he show his aware, and emotionally strong but definitely got my support via subs and likes. For all it's worth.
Friend you should film this video again exactly but with LED light gloves on your hands and in a dark room. That would be cool to see the light show
Im dealing with firework issue any tips for me to soundproof against it.
Build a under ground bunker
@@Blessedup69 wish i could...live in an apartment.
how much is the cost for your soundproof insert window?
Very expensive. About 60 dollars a square foot of plexyglass 😭😭🥱
It seems like they should have provided something along the lines of a window insert shoehorn to get that in quicker.
So you can never open your window again? Or at least not without having to uninstall the insert and then go through the install process again>
so this also shuts down the option that you ever want to open the window ?
You can easily remove the inserts to then open your windows. The great thing is you still get natural light coming in and the huge sound reduction.
Love the clip but the background ambience music isn’t the best idea in my opinion on the noise test segment. Great video though and thanks!
Will this product work for non stop fireworks in front of a building ?
I have the same problem since june.
This solution could cost you more than an actual window. Too expensive if you ask me
This would be great for any who lives by train tracks and trains are always coming through blowing their horns.
I just cried and cried when you entered the room. Too much cinematic.
But what can I do if my window is 110 by 90 or so? I mean it can be done of course, but the plexiplug is going to be really big lol
You should reach out to them with your specs. I think they can customize what you need.
@@adamivy thank you very much!!!
Awesome but can't use this with blinds though...
How much are these? On average or yours???
I was quoted $1100 for 2 large bedroom windows.
@@jazzyfizzal9004 not bad. $550 per window. I blocked out the whole window completely in my studio. It’s really hard not having natural light and also sleeping in ur studio lol
Looks interesting, but I like to open my windows at least once a day, so not practical in my case.
Yeah but the open window equals noise. Maybe get two pieces half size and install 2, top and bottom. Have a wood piece in the middle. That way when you can remove the bottom piece and open the window while still having some sound reduction. It's always best to look at solutions rather than problems.
Light is more important than people realize. I heard a statistic one time of how the suicide rate in Alaska was far higher than anywhere else in the US. 6 months of darkness will do that.
