A Ford SoundScreen windshield is a type of windshield that is specifically engineered to reduce noise and improve the overall driving experience within a Ford or Lincoln vehicle. It is a factory-installed auto glass or original equipment part that cancels out road, wind, and other exterior noise, helping to maintain a quiet interior ride. The SoundScreen acoustic glass technology is designed to provide a quieter and more comfortable driving environment for the occupants of the vehicle.
It is important to note that the SoundScreen windshield is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass made for Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Aftermarket windshields may not be able to replicate the precise location of camera attachment brackets or provide the same level of noise reduction and acoustic dampening technology as the SoundScreen windshield.
If you need to replace your windshield, it is recommended to choose an OEM replacement to ensure the same level of performance and comfort that you have come to expect with the SoundScreen acoustic glass.

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.
Does Safelite use soundscreen windshield?
Each time Safelite used the same exact soundscreen windshield as stock. Make sure you have glass coverage like I do, never cost me a cent (Safeco insurance).
How do I know if I have an acoustic windshield?
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.
What is an acoustic window screen?
An acoustic window works by reducing how much noise can enter the property by its two panes of PVB laminated glass and a PVB interlayer. Polyvinyl butyral has excellent sound absorbing properties and doesn’t compromise or reduce the light transmittance or clarity of the window.
What does acoustic glass look like?
The acoustic PVB layer delivers significantly improved sound insulation compared to standard laminated glass. In the acoustic glass, a special resin is present between the two sheets of glass as an interlayer. This construction is not noticeable on looking at the glass. It looks very similar to laminated glass.
How much does an acoustic windshield cost?
Acoustic windshields seem to be a $300-$500 aftermarket item, so I could see having one put on if it makes a big difference. Just cannot swing the extra 3k for the Lariat trim. Never driven with one either but looking forward to enjoying it for about 5 days before a rock/bolt/hammer/tire/person goes through it.
What does an acoustic windshield do?
Acoustic glass is a type of automotive glass that is designed to reduce noise levels inside the vehicle. It typically consists of two layers of glass, with an acoustic vinyl layer in between. This layer helps to absorb and deflect sound waves (soundproofing), making it much quieter inside the car.
Are acoustic windshields worth it?
Not only do acoustic windshields reduce noise, but they also contribute to better fuel economy. The noise reduction properties of the laminated technology offset the need for thicker and heavier glass. If an acoustic windshield needs to be replaced, look carefully for the manufacturer’s trade name.
What is a sound screen?
noun. : a motion-picture screen made of a porous material to facilitate the transmission of sound from a loud speaker placed behind it.
Do acoustic screens work?
While acoustic panels cannot completely block out all sound, they may help reduce the amount of noise that travels between spaces – whether it’s voices, music or general hubbub – making it easier to stay focused and productive. Overall, they are not a great way to keep sound from entering or leaving a particular space.
