What is Wind Noise?

Wind noise refers to the noise generated when the pressure of oncoming wind exceeds the sealing resistance of car doors and enters the vehicle during high-speed driving. The faster the driving speed, the greater the wind noise. The car body itself is like a box, and sound has the properties of refraction and overlap. When sound enters the car, if there are no sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials to absorb and block it, the noise will continuously refract and overlap, forming resonance. Below is relevant information about high car noise: 1. Solution: Add sound insulation strips at the door panel joints to reduce wind noise. Maintain the vehicle regularly. 2. The role of car maintenance is to ensure the car's excellent performance, improve driving safety, reduce engine noise, and extend the car's service life. 3. Car maintenance methods include: avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight; changing engine oil and oil filters; replacing oil filter elements, air filter elements, gasoline filter elements, air conditioning filter elements, and transmission oil filter elements; adding windshield washer fluid, antifreeze, and air conditioning refrigerant; checking for wear on the drive belt; cleaning throttle and cylinder carbon deposits; inspecting the chassis for damage; checking the body and tires.

When driving with my family, I often encounter wind noise, which is the whooshing sound from outside the car at high speeds. It sounds particularly loud, especially when the window seals age, making conversations in the car difficult. The kids always complain about not being able to hear the music clearly. I've noticed that wind noise increases significantly when the speed exceeds 80 km/h, mainly due to the car's poorly designed shape, causing wind to hit the edges and create noise, similar to air leaking through a door gap. Regularly checking and replacing the seals can greatly improve this. I also recommend choosing car models with lower wind resistance for a more comfortable drive. Prolonged exposure to such noise can lead to fatigue, affecting driving safety.

After modifying my sports car, I gained a new understanding of wind noise. It's the sound produced by air flow when the car is moving fast. If the car body is uneven or the side mirrors are poorly designed, the wind will howl. I believe this reflects the vehicle's performance—the higher the speed, the louder the noise, which is especially annoying when speeding on the highway and can be distracting. I've tried installing spoilers or adjusting the windows to reduce the noise, with good results. Understanding wind noise helps improve the driving experience, and regularly cleaning debris from the roof can also prevent it, making the ride smoother and quieter.

When picking up the kids from school, they often complain that the car is too noisy. Wind noise refers to the loud sound of wind when driving fast on the road, especially noticeable with the windows open on rainy days. I've noticed that the situation worsens when the door seal strips on older cars are damaged, causing the entire cabin to buzz uncomfortably. After a simple repair, it improved significantly. This is a reminder to everyone that wind noise not only affects comfort but may also lead to rainwater leakage. Regular maintenance is key.

Can I install the ETC device by myself?

ETC devices can be installed by yourself as long as you follow the correct installation steps. Generally, ETC can be installed in an open area on the front windshield, as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view. The optimal installation position is at the upper part of the front windshield, behind the rearview mirror, preferably around the black dot area. Installing it in the black dot area is mainly to prevent insufficient sunlight in winter, which may lead to low battery levels, as the black dot area can block some sunlight. ETC is an Electronic Toll Collection system used for automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. It works through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. By utilizing computer networking technology and bank backend settlement processing, it enables vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the tolls.

How to Deal with Water Leakage in Car Sunroof?

The solutions for sunroof leakage include replacing or adjusting the sealing rubber strip, sealing the welding points, unclogging the drainage pipe, or adjusting the drainage pipe joints. Below are detailed explanations regarding sunroof leakage: 1. Classification: Sunroof leakage generally falls into two scenarios. The first is when small sand particles and dust seep into the sunroof drainage channel, causing blockage. The second is when the sunroof sealing rubber strip becomes misaligned. 2. Solution for the first scenario: For cases where small sand particles and dust block the sunroof drainage channel, it is essential to clean the sunroof regularly and maintain a clean environment around the drainage channel. High-pressure air blasting equipment can be used to direct air into the drainage pipe to remove dirt inside. 3. Solution for the second scenario: If the sunroof sealing strip becomes misaligned, it indicates excessive friction between the rubber strip and the car roof. A small amount of plastic protective agent or talcum powder can be sprayed on the sealing strip to reduce unnecessary friction while maintaining the strip's sealing performance.

Should You Engage the Handbrake After Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?

It is advisable to engage the handbrake for automatic transmission cars. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Transmission Types: There are primarily two types of automatic transmissions used in vehicles. One is the stepped automatic transmission, and the other is the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The most commonly used in passenger cars is the mechanical CVT, which utilizes a V-shaped metal belt or chain to transmit torque between the driving and driven pulleys in their V-shaped grooves. This transmission method is typically used in smaller vehicles. 2. Operational Characteristics: In modern automatic transmission cars, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal. The computer analyzes signals from sensors that detect the engine throttle opening and vehicle speed, automatically controlling gear shifts or engaging different gears. Generally, automatic transmissions result in some power loss from the engine. The greatest advantage of automatic transmission vehicles is convenience, especially in traffic jams or when encountering uphill slopes during congestion, where their benefits become even more apparent. Nowadays, automatic transmission cars are becoming increasingly popular. From the perspective of advanced automotive development countries, most vehicles are transitioning to fully automatic transmissions. The replacement of manual transmissions by automatic transmissions as the primary model for daily driving is a trend in automotive development.
