Double glazed units don't help sound reduction because the gap between the sheets of glass is 3/4" to maximise thermal performance.

For max acoustic performance the gap needs to be more than 2.3/4" and the larger the better.

Also laminated glass will help but it costs. Try 4 + PVB (0.76mm) + 4mm glass.
