contents We revisit the calculation of third order \acp{SIGW} and extend it from a monochromatic primordial power spectrum to a more general log-normal one. We investigate the impact of third order SIGWs on \ac{SNR} of \ac{LISA} and \ac{PTA} observations, and find that third order SIGWs significantly contribute to the total energy density spectrum of \acp{GW} in high-frequency region. For a primordial power spectrum amplitude of $A_ζ=10^{-2}\sim 10^{-1}$, the effects of third order SIGWs lead to a $40\%$ to $400\%$ increase in the SNR for LISA. Additionally, our PTA data analysis reveals that third order SIGWs diminish both the amplitude $A_ζ$ and the peak frequency $f_*$ of the primordial power spectrum.
