True on the fan or AC. Add some white noise which you'll get used to. In my bedroom, most of the noise comes in the window. Glass doesn't block sound nearly as well as brick and insulation. Now my window is covered with the layers - plastic film, thick "light blocking" blinds, then what really helps is THICK drapes closed tight.

To block sound, first you seal. Think of putting fingers or plugs in your ears, or pro style headphones that seal tight around your ears. After sealing windows and such, then absorb sound with fluffy insulating material like thick fabric. Some people put an old matress against a window.

At least, those are my thoughts as a weekend sound engineer. I'm certainly not a pro sound engineer.
