sound proofing question

[florestan]

I currently have a one room setup in a house that I'm renting. The walls of the house are plaster and lathe, which seems to be okay as far as not allowing too much sound to pass. The windows, however, leak horribly.

Is there some kind of window covering I can make to reduce the leakage? Money is little object, as long as I can take it apart and reuse the pieces when I move to another place. It also can't be too intrusive to the house because it doesn't belong to me.

thanks,

but I'm kind of looking for somebody who may have had a similar problem and tried some solutions. I can speculate about what to do, too, but I'm hoping for some tried and true answers. thanks
