Milgard claims they can build a window with an STC rating of between 40 and 47 depending on glass and air space considerations. I'm basically wondering about the quality of Milgard as compared to other brands, since they seem to profile their sound guard windows more than others. I live in Chicago in a very dense section of the Lincoln park neighborhood. I have an alley that runs by the side of my house and also another one in the back. I'm trying to cut the noise from the Vet clinic (dogs barking) behind the house and the garbage, utility and delivery trucks that use the alley on the side of the house. It seems like the more I read up on this, the more options and differences of opinion people have.
