How to Deal with Loud Wind Noise in the Car?
2 Answers
Wind noise occurs when the pressure of the wind exceeds the sealing resistance of the car doors, so enhancing the sealing resistance is the most direct and fundamental solution. Introduction to wind noise: 1. Wind noise is divided into wind resistance noise and wind whistle noise. The sources of wind noise mainly include various door gaps, glass gaps, and gaps between different cover components. 2. Air noise is closely related to the design of the car, and car owners can hardly optimize it effectively. 3. Wind noise refers to the noise generated when the pressure of the oncoming wind exceeds the sealing resistance of the car doors and enters the cabin during high-speed driving. The faster the speed, the louder the wind noise.
I've been driving for many years, and wind noise is a common issue, usually caused by aging door seals. You can check the rubber seals on the doors for cracks or wear, and replace them if necessary. You can buy new ones at auto parts stores or online. Also, check if the windows are fully closed, as sometimes a faulty window regulator can leave gaps. The sunroof might also be a source of wind noise; cleaning the tracks and seals can help. Loose side mirrors can increase wind noise too—just tighten the mounting screws. I've dealt with this a few times myself, and after replacing the seals with high-quality ones, the noise significantly reduced, making the ride much quieter and even improving fuel efficiency slightly. Remember to have a mechanic check these points during maintenance—prevention is better than cure.
