How to soundproof my front room and tint windows?

[rashimca]

My house faces the main road, and there’s a lot of noise even at night whenever vehicles pass by. Windows are not double glazed 😏

Also, I’m planning to get the front window tinted—any leads would be great.

Any cheap and best recommendations would greatly helpful. 

 

Thanks!
