How difficult would it be to install acoustic glass for front side windows, would it be really expensive?

@2021mustangdan, you need to change the title from "windshield" to "front door windows".

I have had a select without acoustic and a premium with. The Select was quieter. I would not worry about updating. I think the performance difference is trivial

Really surprised with this, did not expect the Select to be quieter

From what I've read from those that have compared the Select to higher trims for cabin noise, there is no reason to spend money replacing the glass for that purpose.

I was worried about this change myself but then read into it and it seems any difference is barely noticeable, if at all.

We had acoustic windshield on our truck, got a crack amd replaced with non OEM as it was 1/4 the cost. Next day if I listened really hard, on accelerating to freeway speeds I could kind of tell there was more roas noise. By the time I had merged and was traveling constant speed I had already forgotten if jt was louder/quieter than acoustic glass...and never thought about it again for the next 6 years.

People really are making the acoustic glass out yo something bigger than it really is. I have no doubt if you put somebody in a MMe and asked them if it was acoustic glass or not, it'd be no better than a coin flip

Acoustic glass seems more like a marketing gimmick than anything
