Product was advertised as noise canceling. I didn't really expect it to be 100% noise canceling but it didn't really reduce any sound coming from outside. It is still a good curtain though and really blocks the light from outside. My room is really dark when it's closed.

They are excellent at room darkening - they are not real pretty to look at. The white fabric takes on almost a grey hue due to the black fabric on the back. Overall they are doing just what I wanted - keeping the light out of my bedroom. That makes me happy>
