Windows - on a main road and noisy

Advice needed please.
Just had new windows installed in our bedroom and in the living room. Our house suffers from bad condensation so we have had vents fitted to the windows ( 1 vent in the bedroom and 2 vents in the living room ). These were fitted 3 days ago and unfortunately the traffic noise through the vents is keeping me awake.
I have asked the fitter ( who is still fitting to a couple of other rooms ) to block of the filter to see if that helps.
I am on a main road so noise and condensation are my real worries. Would secondary glazing help, although that would then block any vent.
Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated before i go insane.

You will realise it, as you have highlighted the issue.
In a few weeks you will not recognise it, similar to those who live next to a large train line.0
