wind noise
wind noise
Any suggestions on how to reduce wind noise when driving? I've realized the noise just makes long drives pretty tiring. Has anyone found a way to reduce the noise at highway speeds? Maybe new gaskets for the front doors or their windows? I have not really tried to figure out where most of it comes from. Or any other suggestions to reduce any driving noise in general?

Re: wind noise
What sort of wind noise are you getting? A high-pitch noise is an air leak somewhere. If you just mean general noise, the best thing might be to invest in "Dynamat"-type stuff, which is sound deadening material that sticks to the metal. It's expensive and heavy, and it's some level of work to install.mickle wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 1:13 amAny suggestions on how to reduce wind noise when driving?

Re: wind noise
The only time the wind noise is really an issue is when I've left a vent or side window slightly open. Those sliding windows seem to like to hiss and howl when you hit highway speeds. I pretty much leave the bathroom vent open all the time, though, and that one isn't noticeable. I'm coming from driving a 1981 Blue Bird school bus, though, so I think the 190 pretty quiet and cush.
