How to temporarily soundproof the bedroom window

sound-proofingwindows

I live on the second floor of a noisy NYC apartment building, and my bedroom window is unfortunately right above a busy street. I've been sleeping with earplugs for a while, but I still get woken up. Is there any way to temporarily soundproof my window? Preferably it would be cheap and easy to install/remove.

Start by sealing any cracks with weatherstripping. Then I'd suggest investing in some heavy curtains. You can also try hanging acoustical panels on the wall (either build them yourself, or find somewhere that supplies home theater systems).
