FAQs

Stop Noise is an Australian soundproofing specialist that helps reduce unwanted noise in homes and commercial buildings. It is designed for people affected by traffic, aircraft, neighbours, construction, or street noise. The focus is on creating quieter indoor spaces without major renovations or window replacement.

Secondary glazing is a soundproofing solution where a second window panel is installed on the inside of an existing window or door. It creates an air gap between the original glass and the new panel. This air space and sealing system significantly reduces noise entering the room.

Noise travels through vibration. Secondary glazing works by separating the sound source from the internal space using distance, glass thickness, and airtight seals. The larger air gap reduces vibration transfer, making it one of the most effective window based noise reduction methods.

Double glazing typically uses two panes of glass sealed together within one frame. Secondary glazing adds a separate internal pane to an existing window. For noise reduction, secondary glazing often performs better because the air gap is larger than standard double glazing units.

In many cases, yes. Secondary glazing is specifically designed to reduce noise. Standard double glazing focuses more on insulation and energy efficiency. Secondary glazing provides stronger noise reduction while avoiding the cost and disruption of full window replacement.

Stop Noise solutions typically reduce external noise by around 50 to 70 percent. Actual results depend on the noise source, window size, and building structure. Traffic noise, trains, aircraft, and neighbour noise are all commonly reduced to low background levels.

Stop Noise is effective against constant and intermittent noise such as road traffic, aircraft, trains, barking dogs, loud neighbours, and nearby construction. Bedrooms, home offices, and living areas often see the biggest improvement.

No. One of the key benefits of secondary glazing is that it works with your existing windows. There is no need to remove or replace them. The system is installed internally and designed to fit neatly within the current frame.

Yes. Because secondary glazing is installed internally and does not change the exterior of the building, it is suitable for apartments, rentals, and strata managed properties where external modifications are limited.

Yes. The same air gap that blocks sound also improves thermal insulation. This can help keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer, improving comfort and reducing reliance on heating and cooling.

Yes. Secondary glazing systems are designed to be fully usable. Panels can be opened for ventilation and cleaning, making them practical for everyday living.

Installation is usually quick and low impact. Many residential windows take about one hour per window, depending on size and access. There is minimal mess or disruption compared to window replacement.

Stop Noise is ideal for homeowners, renters, apartment residents, and businesses looking for effective noise reduction without major renovations. It suits anyone who wants quieter rooms, better sleep, and improved comfort.

People also ask about double glazing in Melbourne

 Yes. Double glazing helps reduce common Melbourne noise such as traffic, trams, and construction by limiting sound transfer through windows.

Often, yes. In Melbourne properties, secondary glazing can reduce noise more effectively than standard double glazing because it creates a larger internal air gap.

No. Many Melbourne homes use secondary glazing to achieve double-glazing-style noise reduction without replacing existing windows.
