ICF Sound Transmission

New ICF homeowners almost always remark on how unbelievable quiet their new house is, compared to their old stick-built home.  They expect the new-found comfort and energy efficiency, but the peace and quiet, protection from outside noise, never fails to surprise them.

In sound transmission tests, ICF walls allowed less than one-third as much sound to pass through as do ordinary frame walls filled with fiberglass insulation.  With double-glazed windows in ICF walls and high quality roof insulation, you will rarely hear street noises or airport traffic.
