For window and door makers, acoustic specialists and airport sound-insulation programs

Hear the rating.

Your own acoustic test report goes in. A branded listening demo, an in-home dealer close tool and a substantiated Noise Profile come out, in five business days. So a buyer can finally hear why STC 32 is worth $300 more than STC 27.

Walking the floor at GlassBuild America, Las Vegas, 23 to 24 Sept 2026. Meet there.

Live demo, typical windows. Put earbuds in, pick a sound, press a product.
The $300 question

The homeowner cannot tell. The dealer cannot show them.

Noise-reducing glass is now the number one optional upgrade homeowners choose. The rating that justifies it lives on a spec sheet, and nobody has ever heard the difference between the two numbers on the quote.

33%of homeowners chose noise-reducing glass, the #1 optional upgrade (This Old House 2026 survey, 1,000 homeowners)
$150 to $400typical sound-control upsell per window; laminated packages $200 to $600
OITChas replaced STC for exterior products (FGIA TIR-A1-26, 10 Aug 2026). Nobody can hear OITC either.

Against a siren the STC 33 laminated unit wins (35.9 vs 34.6 dB). Against a lawn mower the STC 36 unit wins (29.2 vs 25.0 dB). Same rating class, different shape. Shapes illustrative; values from Element Materials Technology reports on one casement frame.

Where the sale actually happens

Not on a web widget. At the kitchen table where a dealer is defending a $300 line item. In the spec review where an architect is asked what OITC 29 means. In the airport design-review meeting where a homeowner is choosing between two approved packages.

What has been tried

One national brand has a live audio widget. Three glass makers built simulators between 2009 and 2016 and let them die. All of them were web pages tied to no transaction, built on generic curves rather than the maker's own report.

What is different here

The input is your test report. The output goes to the person making the sale. The report number is on the screen. And it is neutral: no glass maker, lab or window brand owns it.

How it works

Report in. Three deliverables out. Five business days.

1

Send your ASTM E90 report

Any accredited lab: Intertek, Element, Riverbank, NGC. Hearwall reads the 19-band 1/3-octave transmission loss, checks STC to ASTM E413 and OITC to ASTM E1332.

Only publish STC and OITC numbers? We build an estimated curve that scores exactly those ratings, badged "est." until the report arrives.

2

Hearwall builds the filter

Each product's curve becomes a linear-phase filter applied in the browser to real recordings: traffic, aircraft, train, dogs, lawn mower, construction, HVAC and more. Glitch-free A/B between products, loudness-matched mode so only the shape remains, headphone gate, limiter.

3

You get the three pieces

A branded hear-it page (single file, works offline, embeds anywhere). A dealer in-home close module for phones and tablets. A Noise Profile for each product with claims language traced to the report number.

What you get

Built for the person making the sale.

Hear-it page

Your products, your brand, your report numbers. One file you can host, embed in a product page, or hand to a rep on a phone. Unlimited views.

See the public version at hearwall.com/demo.

Dealer close module

"Your street at 7 am." Three product buttons, a lead form, works in a basement with no signal. Links into the quoting tool you already use (Paradigm, Windowmaker, Cyncly, Window Perfect) by URL parameters. Monthly usage by location.

Noise Profile

One page per product: STC, OITC, decibel reduction against 12 noise sources, the transmission-loss curve against the E413 contour, and claim lines your marketing team can publish, each citing the lab report number.

$750 per product, $1,500 for a two-product comparison. Five business days.

Trust featureWhat it does
Report number on every screenNothing plays without its lab reference. A skeptic can look it up.
Headphone gate and level setLaptop speakers roll off exactly where window differences live. The page will not start until the listener is set up right.
Loudness-matched modeBoosts each product by its computed reduction so only the spectral shape remains. The demo cannot be gamed by turning things down.
Simulation disclaimer"Simulation from laboratory test data. Field performance depends on installation, wall construction and playback equipment." On every page and profile.
Your curves stay yoursDerived data for your products never appears on anyone else's page. The neutral public demo uses typical units only.

Airport sound-insulation programs

Let the homeowner hear their package before it is installed.

Programs specify STC 40 packages and hold design-review meetings where a homeowner picks between approved products. Nobody plays the difference. Hearwall Program puts the approved list in one library, gives consultants a page for the meeting, and prints a Noise Profile per package for the file.

No booth, just earbuds and a phone. Thirty seconds and you will hear what your rating sounds like. Email jonathan@neosparksolutions.com with your booth number and a time, or bring a test report and leave with a Noise Profile the following week.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a real measurement or a simulation?

A simulation built from your laboratory measurement. The lab's 1/3-octave transmission-loss data is applied to a real recording. It shows the difference between products under the same conditions; it does not predict the exact level in a specific room. Every page says so.

Our report is confidential. What happens to it?

You keep ownership of the report. Hearwall derives the curve and filter, shows product names, ratings and report numbers on your pages only, and never publishes your curves elsewhere. An NDA is available before you send anything.

We only publish STC and OITC. Can you still build it?

Yes. Hearwall builds a plausible curve that scores exactly your published ratings under E413 and E1332, badged "est." on the page. When the report arrives the estimate is replaced, usually within a day.

Can our dealers use it offline?

Yes. The hear-it page and dealer module are single files with the audio embedded. They work in a basement with no signal, and sync leads when the phone is back online.

Does it work with our quoting or CPQ software?

The dealer module accepts product and sound selections by URL parameters, so a quoting tool can open the right comparison from a line item. Deeper integrations are custom work at $200 per hour.

Who owns the recordings?

Hearwall warrants it holds the rights to every noise source it ships. Siren and infant cry are currently synthesized and labelled as such; licensed recordings replace them as they are added.

What is Hearwall, legally?

Hearwall is a working product name of NeoSpark Solutions LLC, Brodhead, Wisconsin, pending trademark clearance. Contracts are with NeoSpark Solutions.

NeoSpark Solutions

Brodhead, Wisconsin. Jonathan Shank is an audio DSP engineer who spent years inside the ATI (now Intertek) acoustical test lab in York, Pennsylvania, certifying windows and doors to STC and OITC, and has worked with acoustics for nearly 15 years. He built the original listening demos there, and the lab sold them to window makers. Hearwall is the rebuild for the OITC era: the same idea, run as a pipeline from your report to your dealer's phone in five days, with the report number on every screen.

Engine: pure Python plus the browser's Web Audio API. OITC validated within 0.5 dB on five lab reports.
