I am looking for special type of 'soundproof' curtains which can more effectively block sound, as there is lot of traffic noise coming to my condo.

The adage I read is that the thicker and heavier and more pleated the curtain, the better sound absorption = which means more material and $$

I have checked with one curtain company which has a type of soundproof curtain used for AV rooms. I notice the material is 75% polyester and 25% rayon. Most other velvet curtains i notice are full polyester, so i wonder is it the rayon that make a bit of difference there. It is not really a blackout curtain but i suppose it will cover most light as well.. I think it is quite pricey at RM120 per meter (currently offering discount of 30%), and was also saying something that the fabric roll is smaller and potentially more expensive to cover a large area.

Has anyone got experience buying these type of curtains before and have recommendations?

Curtain wont be able to completely block the noise. Considered changing your window for a better solution... try visit events for more understanding...

yeah i know..just looking to at least reduce sound not completely block. Changing window is a bit impractical and may be too costly..as my unit has full glass from floor to ceiling
