    I've got windows replaced to 3-glased white pvc (average price, not top of the range).


    I still here noise at front bedrooms from cars driving at the front of the house or if wind is very strong (house in rather quiet estate). Is it OK or something wrong with windows?


    Thanks for reading and your opinion / advice.

    Get them checked by the installer.

    Do you mean triple glazed?
    What do you mean not top of the range?

    Yes, triple glazed.


    I compared prices in few companies and chose middle price.

    Likely culprit is joints between windows and wall is not filled and sealed well.
    Or could be wall air vents.
    Or roof soffit vents.
    Windows are probably fine and noise is by passing them.
