12 week old not turning to the left when hearing sound

He had a detailed hearing test at birth & then at 3 weeks old as he spent a week in NNU. They were both clear. He's been smiling since 4 weeks old, makes brilliant eye contact & can track objects. He can definitely hear. However I've noticed if I make a noise to the right of him he turns, the left side not at all. I'm not sure if 12 weeks is a bit early in general or the fact he's doing it on one side & not the other is a cause for concern rather than him not doing it at all on either side. Does anyone have any experience of anything similar?

I'd mention it to the HV, there might be a wait to get a hearing test but it sounds like a good idea to ask for a referral, even if it's just to check.
