Wind Noise

[mikeand217]

I've only ever driven my GW, so I was wondering is wind noise always significant? I'm not saying mine is horrible, but I trying to decide if I need to replace my weatherstripping or will I just need to turn the radio up?

even after replacing all the weather striping I get wind noise. Just the cab design will cause it. It isn't as bad but consider my weather striping at one time was about non existent. Next step is to run some mat on the flooring,doors and where ever else I can get it.

Maybe I should install a radio and call it done...:rolleyes: ;)

yeah, a radio would be sweet.

op. you gotta remember youre pushing a cinder block with headlights down the road. it's gonna be a little noisy. Look into some sound material as hoot suggested.

The wind noise is less than a wrangler in mine but definitely still whistling along anything over 50mph. Granted the whistling I get is a new one to me but have yet to find a leak or gap in any seals. Do you get the whistling too?

My wrangler gets a lot of noise, but that can be attributed to the flat windshield (at least it has an angle to it) and the soft top.

The Cherokee.... hard to hear over the exhaust that exit right in front of both rear wheels.

The M715... what to say, completely flat windshield with no angle. If I have leaves on the front they actually blow off towards the front of the vehicle once it gets moving. The 5.88 gears make more noise than anything else, and they get pretty loud moving down the road at 50MPH. The wife says she can hear the gears in it a couple of blocks before I get home, but not the engine or tires.

Over all, the noisiest is the Wrangler as far as wind noise. The others cover up any wind noise by other loud noises.
