Hi everyone,
I'm in my new build and I love it. One thing I definitely noticed is that the noise coming through the Midgard windows is significant. For example, I can hear people talking clearly just outside on the side walk like there really no window there. When I go into the model home, it's dead silent. Now I know that many factors can affect noise and sound leaking through, including furniture and carpet but this seems to be too much.
Since I have one year to report anything bothering me, is this something I should bring up to the builder? Are they using better insulation and windows for the model homes? Could there be a simple fix to this like more sealant? I really do want a quiet home.
Anyone else dealt with this? Is it a "it is what it is" situation?
Any suggestions? I moved in a month ago.
Thanks in advance.
