[MassHistPres] Noise abatement question

[Lee Caras]

It’s really too bad that Harvey tru-channel storm windows are no longer available.  I put them over every window in my 1916 craftsman bungalow, which is only 30’ from a busy two-lane road.  They have been lifesavers.  There must be some equivalent still being manufactured?    -Lee Caras, Maynard

I’ve had the question from a historic homeowner and they’ve said they plan to replace their windows first—I haven’t replied yet, but I will obviously discourage this!!  When I reply, I’d like to offer other suggestions.  Storms? (I know there was a thread about storm windows recently and the company that used to make the preferred ones is no longer in business…).  Insulation?  Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.
