Soundproofing

ear plugs !

For walls, I understand that quietrock and green glue are good solutions.

what about windows?

what kind of windows are you talking about

I installed CityProof windows because of street and subway noise. I was pleased with the results, although expect to wait at least 6 weeks before they are ready to install.

i've heard citiquiet windows work really well. I once saw an apt with them and i couldn't hear a thing outside (at ave A/4th street).

but they don't work so well when open :)

path, have you searched previous threads? There have been a few others on the subject. You should find plenty of info, as well as some referrals.

I've heard good things about Auralex Sheetblok, though it was in commercial installations, not residential.
