Double glazing basically means that there is a sealant on both sides of the glass in a window. Single glazing means that one side of the glass is against the wood without additional putty in place. Having the putty or sealant on both sides of the glass gives a better seal against air. It also buffers the glass a bit. Since sound travels through air, better seal means less noise.

It would appear that the rubber seals around the window frame are not making full contact with the sash frame. Contact your local double glazing company and request the cost of new rubber seals - they do range in type and shape so you may have to remove a small sample and use this for identification. They are easy to replace where you can just push the gasket back in to a pre-cut housing.
