I am not aware of any sound-proof windows that work, although many will say that they can reduce the noise.
The key thing to remember is that whilst standard double glazing is good for thermal insulation, sound proofing needs a decent gap between each pane of glass. Secondary glazing (effectively a window inside a window) is your best option - although not as asthetically pleasing as a traditional window, but will do the job. If you want to really go belt and braces go for a sealed double glazed window, and add secondary glazing inside that - that should cut out 95% of any noise.
