The disclosure that follows is designed to ensure SoundBlackout.com’s full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s policy that demands us to be transparent about any and all affiliate relations we may have on this website.

In plain English, you, the visitor or customer, should assume that any and all links on this site are affiliate links. If you click on these links and go visit the resulting site, a cookie will be set in your web browser that will cause us to receive a commission “IF” you purchase a product on the other end. This is a legitimate way to monetize and pay for the operation of web sites and we gladly reveal our affiliate relationships to you.

In addition, we fully disclose that hyperlinks on this site are in most cases shortened, and in some cases cloaked to hide long ugly links for functionality and tracking purposes. We have nothing to hide and we are proud of our relationship with the fine vendors, products and services found on this site. Link tracking, shortening and cloaking is a very common practice on all types of web sites.

Further, we do not receive physical products or cash directly in exchange for any reviews or posts you find on this site. No one has paid us to do reviews or posts. We have to tell you that it is possible that our reviews and posts are influenced by our affiliate relationships and may create a conflict of interest. We do not believe a conflict of interest exists, but you, the visitor or customer, must decide by considering the affiliate relationships and link techniques we have described.

Obviously, We would like you to buy the service or products we write about and we are influenced by that fact. We avoid conflict by only reviewing or posting about products and services we trust. There are plenty of products that we can choose from to promote, and we focus on the ones that we think will cause you to trust us and come back to read more of our feedback. We strive to always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on topics or products we write about and promote.

Other vendors may also pay to place advertising on our sites in the form of banners, widgets, and hyperlinks. These are paid advertisements and while we do our best to only allow quality products and services to be advertised on our site, SoundBlackout.com is not responsible for claims or testimonials made on paid advertising links.

Specific Disclosure of Material Connection

Specific Disclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links on this website are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, we will receive an affiliate commission. Regardless, we only recommend products or services we use personally and believe will add value to our readers. We are disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

About SoundBlackout

The team of researchers and reviewers at SoundBlackout.com is working diligently to provide you, our visitor, with accurate information about home improvement products and services. Ours is home for the reviews of soundproof panels, soundproof curtains, blackout drapes, and other noise reducing products. We inform you about the best reviewed products and services that you can use in your home to make it more pleasant to live in. We do the research so you don’t have to. That way you don’t have to browse endless product pages and customer reviews about products and services that you are interested in.

Maintaining Peace And Quiet In Your Home

is becoming more and more important in this world. As the population exceeds 8 billion people, we find ourselves living closer and closer to each other. Be it in apartments, or single family homes, there is always something near us that can disturb us and prevent us from enjoying the rest that we want.

And the peaceful rest we need so bad. We come home from stressful jobs, from the lengthy and sometimes unpleasant commutes. So we need, more than ever, a sanctuary of peace and quiet to unwind and relax.

If that describes you, you will want to figure out which products can best help keep your home peaceful and quiet. That is where the product reviews and tips on how to buy these products become useful to you.

Reducing Noise With Soundproof Panels, Curtains

When you can reduce noise from the street significantly by buying a certain type of drape, that is the information that you can use right away and create a peaceful place in your home.  Blackout curtains, sound absorbing blankets, soundproof panels and similar products fall into that category.

We will often recommend products that we believe are the best for the stated purposes. Usually, we thoroughly review the products that we recommend. We always stay objective about the products that we recommend.

Thanks to our research, you will always know why we recommend certain products. You will also hear from us when we don’t like a certain product, and we will do our best to suggest better alternatives. We plan to publish detailed side-by-side reviews of blackout products, sound-reducing products and more.

Sometimes We Become Technical And Long-Winded…

We will also provide technical and laboratory information. We research thoroughly available technical information about the products we recommend. That way, we feel, you will be better able to understand why some products perform better than the others, and why we recommend them. Bear with us when we get a bit technical from time to time.

In addition to product reviews, buyers guides, and technical research, we will also provide useful tips for maintaining the products that you see on our site. We want to become the go-to site for everything that helps make your home an oasis of peace and relaxation. Feel free to bookmark our site and return to it for more tips and reviews in the future.

A Word About Our Advertisers

You may see advertising through Media.net, Walmart.com, Brookstone, and other reputable programs on our site, and you should always assume that any link to those sites are affiliate links. We will sometimes be compensated when you purchase a product through one of these links.

Thank You And Ask Away!

Thank you for visiting our site today. If you have feedback, tell us about it by sending us an email or filling out the form below. Tell us if you have questions about products that are not reviewed on our site. Ask us about our opinion on products that you would like to buy.

Best wishes in making your home a nicer, more peaceful and liveable place!
