Road noise

[Gokada]

I ran across this video and thought I might share. The uploader shows a simple fix to reduce road noise without effecting music quality.

Only the older Model 3s have the vent opening in the rear parcel shelf because Tesla covered that up sometime in 2019, IIRC. My early 2018 Model 3 has it and I drove around with the port covered for a few years with a piece of foam wrapped in acoustic cloth. Not sure if I noticed much difference because I'm usually listening to music or podcasts. Since Tesla recently added the ability to stream music from Tidal and I wanted maximum effect from the subwoofer, I removed the foam covering the vent. I haven't really noticed an increase in noise, but like I said I'm usually listening to something in the car AND I have a little hearing loss. If you think it will work it's worth a try, especially since the front door speakers have plenty of bass to make up for any small reduction from the trunk subwoofer.
