Where Does the Wind Leakage Noise at High-Speed Window Corners Come From?

Roll down the window glass and press down on the upper right corner of the sealing strip near the door frame, and a small hole will appear. The wind enters from here, causing the wind leakage noise at high-speed window corners. You can roll 3M double-sided tape into a xylitol-sized shape and stuff it in until it's full, which can reduce the wind noise. Additionally, if you notice excessive noise inside the car during high-speed driving, you can check the following possible causes: Engine Noise: Engine abnormal noise is the most noticeable among car noises. Engine abnormal noises are divided into cold engine noise and hot engine noise. Cold engine noise refers to the abnormal noise coming from the engine compartment when starting the car, which disappears after the engine warms up. This noise occurs because the car has been parked for a long time, and the lubricating oil has almost entirely flowed back into the oil pan. During a cold start, the oil pump cannot immediately establish oil pressure, and oil films cannot form between components, especially the valves inside the cylinder head (upper part). During a cold start, whether it's hydraulic lifters or mechanical rocker arms, there will be some valve clearance, or the timing chain may not operate properly due to insufficient oil pressure, leading to the noise. As for hot engine noise, excluding inherent factors, the noise either indicates a problem with a part or a malfunction of a certain component. Therefore, if you notice the engine noise is getting louder, you should promptly take the car to a repair shop for inspection. Tire Noise: Tire noise is generally caused by air flow through the gaps in the tire tread pattern, resulting in air noise. Since tires are made of rubber, they tend to harden and age over time, leading to natural noise production. New tires have good elasticity, offering better performance in terms of both noise and comfort. If the tire noise is too loud, check if the tires have aged, and replace them if necessary. Chassis Noise: Generally, chassis noise is due to problems with the shock absorbers. The entire car will produce significant noise when driving over uneven road surfaces. At this point, you should check the car's shock absorbers to see if there is severe oil leakage.

With over a decade of driving experience, I've found that wind noise at high speeds from window corners is usually caused by aging or deformed door seals. When rubber materials deteriorate over time or aren't properly installed, wind forces its way through gaps at high speeds, creating sharp whistling sounds at the corners. Having replaced seals several times, I've noticed that if windows aren't perfectly aligned or improperly installed, wind leakage becomes worse. I recommend regularly inspecting door edge seals for cracks or looseness, replacing them promptly when necessary. Applying rubber protectant during routine maintenance can slow down aging. Remember, ignoring minor issues will amplify the noise and may even compromise waterproofing during rainy conditions.

As a car enthusiast, I'm very concerned about the issue of wind leakage through windows at high speeds. The noise mostly originates from gaps between the window and door frame seals; fast airflow passing through narrow gaps generates high-frequency noise. Material quality is crucial, as cheap seals tend to harden and detach easily. Assembly precision is also key - if windows aren't properly aligned when rolled up or doors aren't shut tightly, corners become more prone to wind leakage. I recommend replacing old components with reinforced door seal strips, which you can DIY check by closing windows and listening for noise locations while driving at high speed. Choose high-viscosity silicone grease to lubricate sealing surfaces, preventing aging and friction wear to improve driving comfort.

Driving on the highway every day for commuting, the wind noise leaking from the window corners is extremely annoying. When driving faster, you can hear a whooshing sound from the corners, like a whistle blowing. The main reason is that the door seals are loose or damaged, not completely blocking the wind. This noise interferes with listening to music or making calls, ruining the mood. A simple solution is to park and check the seals, feel for any loose spots, and if not fixed, go to a repair shop for adjustment. I've experienced it; after spending a little money to fix it, the car became much quieter.
