Wind Noise

Re: Wind Noise
My Prius has the least amount of wind noise of any vehicle I have owned, and in fact of any car I've traveled in. I was a passenger in a buddy's $$$ SUV and the wind noise in that vehicle was way louder than my Prius.
Check to see all the windows are fully rolled up if you are having wind noise issues.

Re: Wind Noise
We have two Prius vehicles, a 2006 and a 2007. Both have window wind noise, so it makes me believe it is normal. It is not engine noise or vent noise, the side windows have wind noise at freeway speeds only, as if the window is open a crack. I have owned many vehicles over my lifetime and none have had such a pronounced wind sound from the windows at freeway speeds as our two prius. It is not so loud that you can't talk in the vehicle while driving but it is annoying and something I thought a company like Toyota would not allow to happen. Toyota quality.....Hmmmmm, my other less expensive GM vehicle doesn't have this noise.
I'm wondering if these would help? http://priuschat.com/shop/product_in...products_id/38

Re: Wind Noise
Not like I really need to do this. The noise is very obvious when driving at freeway speeds. You can't not hear it. Again it sounds like the window is open just a crack. I don't notice it in the back seat windows, just the driver's and passengers windows. During City street driving there is no wind noise.

Re: Wind Noise
If the seal is not damaged, the usual fix involves rehanging the door. That takes power tools and skill . . . something a body shop would do.

Re: Wind Noise
I don't see how the seal could be damaged in a new car, let alone damaged in two vehicles.
I just bought that Radio Shack sound level meter, the digital one but now I have to figure out how to use it.
