A window insert assembly is disclosed for reducing window energy loss and for damping sound. Also disclosed are parts in a window insert kit to build a window insert and methods for installing the window insert into a window well. In one embodiment, the window insert comprises an outer frame assembly with a gasket frame seated in a gasket channel of the outer frame and planks of an inner frame seated in an inner channel of the outer frame assembly. The inner frame suspends layers of plastic wrap. In an alternative embodiment, the outer frame is in the form of a U-channel or adhesive foil with the gaskets adhered to its outer perimeter. In another embodiment, the outer perimeter of the inner frame comprises a stiffener groove. Here, the outer frame is in the form of a T-shaped stiffener with gasket adhered to its top.
