Windows letting in a lot of road noise

Question

Our double glazed windows are only about 8 years old but we can hear the road quite clearly through them. Is this a seal issue or would we need to look at acoustic glass?

Steven · Answer

best idea is to get triple glazing if close to busy road can use the same frames

Paul · Answer

there is lots of reason noise can enter your property , acoustic glass may not solve everything , although it would help . Noise can come in through trickle vents , vents in walls , gaps around the window frames them selves etc . 
it may be worth trying acoustic glass but do not expects miracles . May be worth investigating all other holes first before spending your hard earned money .

Hi. There may be many factors, but you would have to see what you need first. 
They can be gaskets, hinges, etc

Dean · Answer

Hi there , possibly new seals and laminated glass the next best thing to acoustic glass and more than half the price .

Kevin · Answer

It could be the hinges, they wear out after a while and the window doesn't pull in the way ot should
