Default noise reduction material for window, noise from church bells

Dear dude-guy:
Are you completely sure mass is the only thing
to consider?


Only thing, no. *The material's ability to dampen vibration (good
for polymer, poor for glass), and mechanical isolation. *Triple


Yes, this is also what I thought...

Polymer = good at damping vibrations...
Glass = has higher density...

What should I choose? What is the optimal / the best, when there's
already 1 layer of glass (actually 2 thin layers, it's a thermo-
isolating window for cold winters)...

paned glass is like a wall, for both sound and heat transfer
(well...)

Does it matter whether it's high or low frequent
noise?


The spacing between panes will decide whether it dampens /
isolates or resonates / amplifies the noise.


How to find the best spacing for absorbing noise from church bells?

What would you recommend?
