120km+ Wind Noise Level

[D_Y2k.8^]

Hi everyone,

Out of curiosity, do all of you experience wind noise by the window when you're crusing above 120kmh? Any idea how to reduce that noise?

Yes, i think the noise is from our side mirrors, i hv been looking at the internet for some M3 style side mirrors for rcolt, but i hvn found any yet.

turn your radio/cd player up louder!

Funny that! Some of us are trying to make the colt quieter, whist the UK members are trying to get rid of their CZT sound deadening, so they can hear their engine & BOV more! Seriously, if you want to quieten things down a bit you can alway get more bitumous soundproofing added to the underside of the colt, and get some audio type dynamatting for the doors. Could probably also get something for the firewall as well, as the Colt CZT seems to have some sort of soundproofing here.:)

just an idea for you. Speed limit in Australia is max 100 or 110 everywhere but NT where it's 130. stay on limit and no noise.
Don't you love comments like that from the stocko boy lol

My solution?

Add a Bov and a Exhaust and enjoy the music :)

could try earplugs, or earmuffs.. or a combination of both... failing that you could remove the mirrors....

Actually, he is from Malaysia. So the legal speed limit don't apply to him :)

Yes, there's wind noise issue, but then again, we ain't BMW. These are expected thing.

was thinking that too? but maybe do the ear plugs AND remove the mirrors? then you'll get some quietness happening!

Tried flipping the mirrors just now and yeap it did help. But i guess it aint practicle :( Will just live with the noise or probably follow VVIP's foot steps.

maybe also close your windows and have the aircon running? ;)
