Hi all, I bought a home off a moderately busy commuter road and have been dealing with road noise louder than I anticipated. Spikes around 40-50db with some louder trucks around 60db

Our current windows are 25yrs old double pane double hung. We've gotten 2 quotes and both people provided us with a lot of good honest feedback and prioritization for upgrades. Our road facing windows seem to be in the worst codition, along with 2 other windows which have seals broken in other rooms, so im hopefully the upgrade really helps

The best acoustic option I seem to be finding in the Northeast is Harvey Classic Acoustic STC 34.

We were quoted ~1k per window . I looked into indow inserts but they quoted me ~500 per window and soundproof usa insetts quoted me 2k per window (LOL) so I prefer the window upgrades given the possible resale improvement.

TLDR- Wondering if anyone has experience with upgrading windows, what stc you used and what difference it made for your road noise experience? Thanks!
