Question 1

Accurate advertising? not "sound proof" so how much sound does it exactly reduce?

Accepted Answer

I love these curtains. They are not "soundproof" but they are exceptionally good. My recommendation is that you look at one of the "additional" images on the Amazon site. It is the little tiles below the main image and when I just looked at it was fifth from the left or third from the right. It is a table indicating the effectiveness of the curtains depending on the frequency of the sound. Generally, I find that table accurately reflects the performance. Low frequency sounds at high volume such as hot rod "no muffler" engine noise, or the base tones of an idiot playing loud music still tend to punch through. The curtains take the edge off that type of noise but do not eliminate it. In terms of general street noises, background noises, conversational voices, and that type of thing the curtains are excellent. The difference in my bedroom was dramatic and instant. I do have a problem with rude "hotrod" loving neighbors. Even though those noises do punch through, the improvement was well worth the cost of the curtains. As long as you look at the "entire advertisement", I do think the image of the table by frequencies is accurate. I do recommend the curtains unless absolute quiet is essential. then you may need to move or wall up windows. One thing you can do is hang these on an extra rod near the windows and then keep any other curtains to not change the "look" of the room. Every additional fabric layer helps. The felt layer of these is the most effective. Hope this helps.

Question 2

How well do they reduce road noise, such as vehicles driving nearby?

Accepted Answer

They help greatly with general road noise. On the Amazon site, click on one of the alternate images under the main image. There is a chart 2nd from the right under the main image that gives a pretty realistic appraisal of how effective the noise reduction is at various frequency ranges. Ordinary well operating vehicle engines and  other typical road and people noise are cut back really well. You will not get silence, but you will be able to turn the volume back down on TV or music. Really loud unmuffled or backfiring engines like most louder than normal and lower frequency noises will punch through. The idiots who shake windows with low base thumping car stereos will punch through. The improvement was vastly worth while for me.  Expect a huge improvement rather than silence and I think you will be pleased. I purchased a second set of these for a second room because the first set worked so well.

Question 3

does it have holes to slide a pole through to hang onto? like a rod to put through

Accepted Answer

The rod will go through the holes in the curtain. Mine has brass looking covers around the holes (not bright brass but not silver either). They are plastic, not metal. Overall I am pleased with the curtains. If your rod above your window is not too wide, the curtain lays flat against the wall helping to block out the most light and sounds possible.

Question 4

Looking at pure white.  bullets say that the "black" is greyish/white.  is it greyish/white or black?

Accepted Answer

BLACK I ordered these twice and BLACK was on the back of pure white both times.
