I put Crystal windows into a house years ago and the customer spec’d triple pane for soundproofing.  I have always been happy with Crystal’s product (for aluminum windows).  I cannot say whether or not the triple pane was any quieter; I do wish I had gone with thicker replacement windows (such as certain t) in my own house as I now want to change out some of the double panes for triple. There are windows made specifically for sound proofing.  A contractor friend of mine had many years ago taken a job which was funded by the FAA to change windows in houses around Islip MacArthur Airport.  I remember him telling me the cost of each window (this job was done in the late 1980’s and I think each window was well over $1,000 – not only was he trying to tell me how great these windows were, but he was complaining that the taxpayers were footing the bill).  I cannot recall the brand name but if you are interested in a high end sound proof window, reach out to me via my website and I will call him to get some name brands.

Lowen is good. THere is a cheapie window place on classon in clinton hill I think it is called US Windows and glass. THey have made cusom windows for me. THe thing with soundproof is that you want laminated glass.IF you don’t care as much about the look of the window (these are aluminum) then this may be ok.
