ThermoFormed Block Corp.:
Peace and Quiet

"New ICF homeowners almost always remark on how unbelievably quiet their new house is, compared with their old stick-built home. They expect the new-found comfort and energy efficiency, but the peace and quiet - the protection from outside noise - never fails to surprise and delight 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. With double-glazed windows and ICF walls and beefed-up roof insulation, you will rarely hear street noises or airport traffic."
