AIS Acoustic Shield
CLEARLY QUIETER
High-performance car glass is made by sandwiching two panels of glass with a special PVB interlayer and a high-dampening material. This feature works on audible frequencies that are sensitive to the human ear and dampens the effect of harshness in the acoustic band.
Features and Benefits
- Dramatically reduces external noise and vibrations inside the car cabin
- Offers better comfort for the driver and the passengers
- Lower noise level improves the experience of music, conversations, and phone calls

Frequently Asked Questions
Acoustic windshields are specially engineered windshields, designed to reduce noise and vibrations that enter the cabin of a vehicle. It consists of two glass panels bonded together with a special PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer that includes a damping material. This allows the glass to target and mitigate audible frequencies that are sensitive to the human ear, helping create a quieter, more comfortable environment for both drivers and passengers.
The main difference between non acoustic and acoustic windshields lies in their construction and noise-cancellation abilities. Acoustic glass windshields have a special sound-damping interlayer that significantly lowers the transmission of noise and vibrations into the car’s interior. A non-acoustic, standard laminated windshield is primarily built for safety and does not effectively block sound.
Soundproof windscreens offer multiple benefits, including –
- Enhanced noise reduction for a peaceful ride, even on noisy city roads or highways.
- Reduced driver fatigue and improved focus, as distractions from outside noise are minimised.
- Greater comfort for all occupants, making conversations and entertainment more enjoyable within the cabin.
To check if you have a soundproof windshield, examine the edges of the glass for indications or markings such as “Acoustic”, “Soundproof”, “Sound resistant” or a similar identifier. Many manufacturers stamp this information discreetly on the glass.
The acoustic glass windshield features a multi-layered structure that includes a PVB interlayer between two sheets of automotive glass. When sound waves hit the windshield, the interlayer absorbs the vibrational energy, especially in the frequency band sensitive to human hearing, thus limiting sound transfer into the cabin.
