Noise From Nearby School / Mrt Tracks

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Wanna check with you guys. For units that are situated near a school and beside MRT tracks. There'll be the noise from the school morning ceremony, etc... noise from the MRT travelling past your home etc..

Is there a way to eliminate or at least minimise the noise level?

Does double glazed glass windows do wonders?

first, does HDB approve this double glazed glass windows?

Hmm, I did come across a T-blog thread whereby the owner installed double glazed windows. Not sure about approval though.

Am looking for resale units, so came across this unit.. was thinking if there's solutions to the noise.. but think will probably pass. These windows aren't cheap, plus next time wanna resell might not be easy again. =)

Double glazed glass designed meant for heat & acoustic sound isolation.

It work well as 'fixed' glass panel - imagine a wall vs a fixed double glazed window.

Casement or sliding windows have this gap 'leakage' issue- not '100% air-tight'....so....'Triple' glazed also won't help much as 'window' - 'fixed panel' is another issue.
