Soundproofing windows, hanging art...
Newbie, 1st post. Long-winded, but integrates two topics. I bought a '98 37' Allegro bus (cat/allison), and was quickly shocked by the high level of bidirectional noise through the stock windows. ...

Re a (temporary) foam soundproofing option, 2 things:
1. I know of no 1/2" foam product that is as effective at noise-cancellation as SDB.
2. I prefer a permanent finished-wood appearance. The total material costs were well under $150 to complete 3 sliders and their track/frame assemblies. Granted, well over 20 hours labor, but worth it. The "wooden hearth" effect on both sides of the bed is splendid. Particularly compared to the "circus motel" look of the stock shade assemblies.
I'll post the db/frequency tech specs of the sliders up vs down when I have time.
PS- SDB on-shelf at hdepot ($15), decorative ply at Lowes ($35). 2x4+hardware total cost <$80.
