Yes! Normal double glazed windows have the *facility* to be locked totally
closed or slightly open. IMO much better than trickle vents.

That's what we had in our last place. Much better than trickle vents
from a noise point of view, also give you more ventilation when "open".
Not so good for security though, unless on an extremely small, high up
window and you lock them and any other opening panes with a key.
