[MassHistPres] Noise abatement question

[Phyllis Halpern]

Wendy,
I believe that there are companies that make interior window inserts which
are light-weight and easy to install.  Indow is one of these, and their
website claims that they create a sound-deadening air pocket with existing
windows panes to block outside noise.
Good luck.
