Does anyone has any solution on how to minimize the road noise and/or wind noise?

Has anyone installed the wind deflector yet? Are they useful, in terms of decreasing the wind noise?

Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks
Like you said, this type of noise is very subjective. I actually find the TCH to be a very quiet vehicle, almost on par (but not quite) as my 99 CaddySTS. But then again, my last commuter car was a 97 Paseo convertible, which was as loud as a Rolling Stones concert even with the ragtop up, so I'm enjoying the silence of the TCH.

Does the Base JBL system have ASL? I did not know this.
Yes it does, but I do not find the ASL works very well in the base-JBL. If you go thru the stereo options (bass, treble, etc) it is the last option, and you can turn it ON or OFF. The ASL in the ScionTC works very well, you can adjust the ASL-sensitivity level, don't know why Toyota didn't incorporate that same functionality into the TCH stereo.
