Yep it worked.

Materials
- all the glass was replaced with 10mm laminated glass

- plaster taken off walls, walls insulated with HD refrigeration boards cut to size between studs.

-an isolation clip and rail system was installed over studs to reduce flanking noise. (Vibration that travels through house frame)
- replastered with 16mm firestop plasterboard then a layer green glue acoustic polymer as per manufacturer instructions then another 16mm firestop plasterboard laminated.

-all gaps sealed with a non cracking sealer (don't use the $4 caulking at bunnings it will cracking and leak noise eventually)

-we also built a secondary gazing system on the inside of the windows (attaching new timber and so on) and added an additional 7mm laminated glass and an 10mm acrylic lift out sheet to fit the inside of the awning.

- I also laminated an 18mm sheet of mdf onto a solid core door for the front door and used good quality raven seals on every door and window.

Works brilliantly.
