Sound issue w/ 1931 windows

Hello, I recently moved into a beautiful 1931 apartment bldg that was fully upgrades - except for the windows. The sound that comes through is a big problem, mostly due to the fact that the bldg next to me has it's windows opening onto mine, and the tenants there are always fighting. I've gotten heavy curtains, shades, an area rug, use a white noise machine, wear ear plugs, but nothing helps the 3:30am fight wake up.

My landlord is looking into replacing the windows, but as I will have to pay for it them I was wondering if this is the most economical solution.

Is there a film or something that could be put over the windows to shut out noise?

And can anyone suggest double or triple pane windows that are good at noise reduction but won't break my bank?

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so so much!
