Honda Accord and Acoustic Windshield
The Honda Accord does indeed have an acoustic windshield. This feature is designed to reduce noise levels, vibrations, and harshness in the cabin, contributing to a quieter driving experience. The acoustic glass used in the windshield is thinner compared to non-acoustic glass, which helps to save weight and reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, the Accord Touring model specifically features a 4.7 mm acoustic laminated windshield glass, tuned to attenuate wind and urban noise frequencies.
In summary, the Honda Accord is equipped with an acoustic windshield, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.

How do I know if my car has acoustic glass?
A way to know if you have an acoustic windshield is by checking the bottom of the driver’s side windshield. It should state clearly “acoustic” or “A” or a symbol of an ear with a curved arrow if it is indeed an acoustic windshield.
How much difference does acoustic glass make?
Its thermal properties are much better compared to single-glazed windows. It is better at reducing noise and keeping energy bills down for your home. Acoustic glass also improves the strength and durability of the window area, making it harder to crack or break in.
What are the disadvantages of acoustic glass?
Cons of Acoustic Glass
- Effectiveness can be determined by the thickness of the glass.
- More expensive than triple glazing – Soundproof windows can range in price from £900 to almost £2,000 + VAT per window.
- It can be heavy and require a specialist frame.
- Frames can warp over time due to the weight of the acoustic glass.
What is Honda acoustic windshield?
Acoustic glass helps reduce wind noise in Odyssey models. Tuned specifically to cut wind-noise frequencies, it uses two layers of safety glass with an inside layer of a transparent and elastic acoustic membrane. Odyssey EX-L and above trims have acoustic glass in the windshield.
What is the difference between acoustic glass and regular glass?
Its thermal properties are much better compared to single-glazed windows. It is better at reducing noise and keeping energy bills down for your home. Acoustic glass also improves the strength and durability of the window area, making it harder to crack or break in.
Is acoustic windshield worth it?
Compared to ordinary 5mm glass, acoustic glass reduces noise by up to 90%, i.e. an additional 60% more than its counterpart. With such glass, you can drive comfortably. Also, our team of highly trained technicians can take care of all your windshield repair requirements and provide you with the best results.
Is acoustic glass more expensive?
Acoustic glass has a laminated layer between the panes that stop the vibrations of noise, making them genuinely soundproofing. Acoustic glass is more expensive than triple glazing, so it depends on your level of noise disturbance and budget.
How much quieter is acoustic glass?
Acoustic glazing units, such as Guardian LamiGlass Acoustic can deliver a noise reduction factor of up to 54dB in their triple glazing units and 52dB in the double glazed unit. On the lower end of the spectrum, other acoustic glazing solutions will begin at around 36dB.
How much does acoustic glass reduce sound?
36-40dB
Advantages. We fit soundproofing windows with a reasonable up to 36-40dB noise reduction. On average, non-acoustic double glazing window units will achieve up to 14 decibels less than this, where you see figures close to 26dB.
Does Honda Accord have acoustic glass?
Reduced Cabin Noise
For Accord Touring, acoustic laminated windshield glass with a total thickness of 4.7 mm is tuned specifically to attenuate wind and urban noise frequencies. Touring also features 4.7 mm acoustic laminated front door glass. Active Noise Control (ANC) reduces unpleasant booming noise in the cabin.
