noisy andersen windows

Annie
18 years ago

My house was built in 1938. Brick/Wood siding.

Just replaced 16 older single pane wood windows w/storms with Anderson Series 400 windows. My problem - the noise from outside has increased with the new windows. Installation company has never heard of this and verified that you can hear more outside noise with my new windows (we did a test between one new window and one of my older windows that still exists). Andersen rep came out today and he said he had never heard of this problem. Both people believe installation was done correctly. I bought new windows for a number of reasons (resale value, energy efficiency, etc.) but never thought about the sound problem. Has anyone ever heard about this problem? I really don't like paying $$,$$$ for new windows only to be able to listen to other people's conversation on my patio (yes, you can here conversation (normal levels). Andersen Corporation is suppose to give me a call but I wanted to do a little homework before talking to corporate office. Thanks in advance.
