How to Keep Your Home Noise Free in the Rainy Days?

There's something undeniably calming about the first rainfall of the season. The petrichor, gentle breeze, and cooler air all feel soothing. 

But as the rain picks up, so does the noise. 

Water drums on roofs, tyres splash through puddles, thunder rolls in the distance, and the world feels louder than usual. For many, the rainy season brings moisture and overwhelming sound. If you want peace, especially indoors, this guide will help you find it.

Let's explore how you can enjoy the monsoon without the noise, with the right windows, materials, and design solutions.

What Causes Noise Disturbance in the Rainy Season?

Monsoon-time noise doesn't just come from the rain itself. While heavy droplets can create a rhythmic pounding on surfaces, much of the disturbance comes from outside your home. 

Think honking traffic stuck in waterlogged roads, neighbours increasing their TV volume to drown out the sound, or water dripping endlessly from a broken gutter. And then there's lighting too, sometimes soft or jarring.

Even indoors, sound can bounce off walls and floors, making your home feel louder than it should be. So, where do you start when you want silence?

Use Laminated Glass to Cut Down Outdoor Sounds

The first and most effective change is your choice of glass. Laminated glass is engineered to act as a sound barrier. It’s made by bonding two sheets of glass with a special interlayer (typically PVB). This interlayer dampens vibrations and prevents sound waves from passing through as easily.

Unlike regular glass, laminated glass doesn't just mute the rain but reduces the intensity of outside noise by up to 40 dB. That's the difference between loud disruption and a soft, background murmur.

It's a great choice for bedrooms, study areas, or any space where you want everything to be soothing.

Choose AMJ Aluminium Frames for a Quieter Home

Even the best glass can't perform at its peak if the window frame is not built to seal out sound. 

People choose premium aluminium frames to make their homes soundproof. 

These small but critical components help prevent air gaps, those little spaces where outside noise can sneak in. Not like any basic aluminium profiles, AMJ's frames are engineered to perform. They combine strength with acoustic insulation, making them ideal for monsoons and beyond.

Install IGUs to Block Out Rain and Road Noise

Sometimes, glass needs the proper support. That's where IGUs—Insulated Glass Units—come in. 

Think of them as double-glass sandwiches with a pocket of air in between. That pocket works hard to cushion incoming sound.

Whether rain is pelting down or bikes are revving outside, IGUs make it all fade into the background. The bonus point is that they also help maintain the right indoor temperature, so your home feels just right, season after season.

Upgrade to Active Noise-Cancelling Glass (If You Need More Silence)

Sometimes, even laminated glass and IGUs aren't enough. Maybe you work from home. Perhaps you have a newborn. Or perhaps you just crave absolute silence. In that case, go a step further with noise-cancelling glasses.

This technology uses sensors and sound waves to stop external noise in real time. It's the kind of thing you'd find in luxury homes or studios, but it's becoming more accessible. And yes, it works brilliantly with AMJ's aluminium systems. High-end design, zero distraction.
