Window insulation

I live on New York’s Upper West Side on a low floor. Our building is offering a bulk rate on window replacement through Skyline, either Skyline Series 100 Aluminum Double Hung Windows or Marvin Clad Ultimate Double Hung Windows.
Question – which is best for SOUND insulation? Is it worthwhile inquiring about triple glazing? Many thanks.

William,
