I just replaced the single pane true divided sashes in my historic home. The historic district will not allow double pane windows, so I went to considerable expense to have custom made 6/6 true divided sashes with laminated glass panes. The glass is heavier and thicker and the lamination dramatically reduces the street noise entering my living room. It made a big difference.
When Jim Smith was here voicing my system to my room, one of the first things he did was measure the ambient noise level before we did any listening. Not a silent as the woods, but better than NYC. Late at night sounds best here also. To my wife's frustration, we don't run the clothes washer or dish washer when I know I will soon listen to music. It really makes a difference.
