We've not had it done. The most everyone knows secret. If, you have it air conditioned, it adds to your air conditioned square footage and to your tax bill. Your central ac may not be up to the extra heat load. Many use those.portable AC units they are pretty good and they do not report the space as air conditioned.

We had double thick low E glass at our previous home. It does stop noise. Ours had a blush tint, color to it. You may object that the color does not match your other windows.
The sliders, assuming you will keep them, you will need better hardware, tracks etc.
You may find the extra weight a problem.
