“Early on we realised that if we wanted to truly transform peoples’ lives through their living environments, we needed to develop more deeply our fascination with, and knowledge of, the ‘science of silence’ – and then apply that expertise to our products and our process.”

Aircraft Noise Pollution
If your domestic peace is disrupted by a flight path, talk to Hugo Carter about finding the solution to aircraft noise.
The noise of an aircraft taking off or coming in to land has become a familiar one to millions of people in recent decades.
For anyone living near airports, there is little prospect of that noise abating any time soon. If your domestic peace is disrupted because you are under or near a flight path, it is time to talk to Hugo Carter about soundproofing against aircraft noise.
Train Noise Pollution
The sound of a distant train whistle echoing through the night can be incredibly evocative.
However, the train noise generated by a busy station right next door to you, or a regular express service rushing past the end of your garden, is a lot less romantic.
The harsh, metallic sound of trains has the potential to be extremely intrusive to anyone living within a few hundred yards of a station, or a busy track.
With services running until after midnight, and recommencing well before the rush hour, there is little respite for those close affected. We suggest contacting a window supplier who understands the “Science of Silence”.
Anti-social Noise Pollution
Living very close to a town centre or your favourite watering-hole clearly has its advantages – but it also brings drawbacks in the form of anti-social noise.
It could come in the form of loud music, or simply the sound of large groups of people partying well into the night – well past the hour when you long for peace and quiet.
It’s not always easy – or advisable – to confront those responsible for such a disturbance. The answer may be to install windows that reduce anti-social noise to manageable levels.
Road Noise Pollution
In these motorised times, it is unusual to live in a home completely untroubled by the noise of traffic. The sound of cars, motorcycles, buses and lorries is rarely absent from our lives, whether it is a constant roar, a steady hum or an occasional irritant.
Noise pollution can put a serious strain on people’s lives. Excessive traffic noise can make it difficult to relax in your home and lead to disturbed or sleepless nights, with a knock-on effect on your peace of mind and general health.
The good news is that there is an answer. At Hugo Carter, we understand your desire for less traffic noise in your life, and our soundproofing windows will improve the atmosphere in your home.
So that the planes above you at 2,000 feet may as well be 2,000 miles away.
Imagine knowing that – from the moment your head hits the pillow – you’re more likely to be woken by a cat, a clock or your partner.
And that you will never again be woken by things outside that go ‘bump’ – or ‘vroom’ – in the night.
Now even the lightest sleepers can enjoy the deepest slumbers.
In these various ways, our bespoke design process can open up new possibilities for you and your home.
Sleep & Noise Pollution
If you have trouble sleeping, it can have a seriously negative effect on your life. Failure to get enough sleep will affect both your physical health and your mental wellbeing. At Hugo Carter, we understand the importance of cutting down on noise pollution and the mental health benefits that can bring.
