If they think about it at all, most people consider insulation as something that will only help manage heat and cold. For that reason, Owens Corning recently launched a Quiet Down America Tour to spread the word about how fiberglass insulation and other building products can also help control residential noise. The Tour is now visiting leading home shows throughout the country to highlight ways Americans can incorporate the element of "shhhhh!" in their home. The Tour demonstrates state-of-the-art QuietZone product solutions which, when used together, can reduce airborne and structural noise by up to 85 percent. Attendees hear a live noise comparison of common household appliances through an untreated wall and a wall treated with the company's highest level noise control, QuietZone® Quiet Retreats™. In the end, visitors come away with an expanded understanding of insulation that includes the word "quiet."
