Judging by many posts over the last couple of years I get the strong impression that the noise level is related to the individual car. My nearly 2 year old AWD LR does not get wind noise even on motorways, but it is clear that some owners do have wind noise.
Yes they do. And it often varies widely from vehicle to vehicle.
That was very patient of them! How did that work? You took them out in the car and they made a note of where they thought they heard wind noise?
In my case, first car yes, at drivers window above 50 mph. Second car, no window noise.
to an extent yes but you certainly have a better chance of getting a quiet car if its a 2021 MIC one.
Yes, door seal has been replaced and the window has also been adjusted. Almost no improvement.
Is it definitely coming from the side window? If you press against it whilst travelling does it get worse? If not it could be poor fitting glass roof panel gaps that create turbulence.
You could use electrical insulation tape to cover up all the roof gaps to see if it improves things - plus driver's door glass and all around the door and get in via the passenger door. If it does improve things you can take off pieces at a time to narrow down which area is causing the problem.
I had this thought recently. TBh though, the car now goes back at lease end on 8th December so I'm not sure I can be bothered. If the tape did improve things, I'm not sure what the permanent fix would be.
There were reports of the gap where the side mirror joins has a gap that can cause significant noise. Easy to test by taping or filling the gap temporarily with rubber seal if you have something suitable.
Thanks, already tried. I've now gone through just about every suggestion on here, including wheel arch liners, A pillar gaps etc. etc. all now blocked up in different ways - none of it has sorted the problem. So, the car goes back on 8th December and I'm now looking at other options for my next car.
