If you can notice people at a bus stop outside your house then you need better sound insulation. If you want to keep your windows open at night and have that be quite then move the the middle of nowhere.

I say this as someone that lived near an airport, even guests did not notice unless the windows where open.

The state-of-the-art arrived at triple-paned by now.
