Double glazing is a great sound reducer. As it is composed of two panes of thick glass, compared to traditional windows which are only composed of one thin pane of glass, it can successfully block out a lot of outdoor noise. There are many varieties of thick curtains and blinds available which can both match your existing décor and act as a sound proofing instrument. You could even purchase a timber acoustic door as many doors contain tiny gaps at the bottom and sides of frames which are prone to letting in pockets of noise. The thickness of an acoustic door and because it fits a frame so tightly are both reasons why it is a great way of cutting off any racket.
