Wind noise at 65 mph?
Hi all, just got my asphalt 2 day ago. Love it!!!
Just wanna know anybody hear wind noise start at 60 mph from driver side. I drive Rx330 and it's quiet. Thanks. Ps. Got from Sun Toyota, Holiday with no dealer fee. For those who live in Tampa bay area, it's worth to check this dealer. |

The wind noise insane, but thats because I have the windows open lol
From what I can tell though, the wind noise isn't all that bad. I know Lexus is known for cutting down noise from outside the vehicle. |

That's weird cause I can hear it even the radio on and yes doors and windows were closed completely. Maybe I'm focus too much to check if there's something wrong with my car. Anyway I'm enjoy it so much.
Thanks guys |

I hear some wind noise as well on the highway...but honestly, compared to previous cars I've owned, this one might as well be a Rolls when it comes to cabin noise. It's really not bothersome.

Yes I do hear some wind noise except it's coming from the passenger side wind shield. It's not normal wind noise. It sounds kind of like the window is open.

At 3000+ miles, most of it at near highway speeds, I can honestly say I haven't noticed any wind noise. Then again, compared to my recent cars (a Mustang convert. and a Chevy Astro) anything would seem quiet.

I hear very slight wind noise starting at 58 mph. Noticeable at 60 mph. It probably gets louder at 65 mph, but I haven't gone up to 65 mph yet.
My friend has RX350. It's sooooooooooooo quiet even though it's a SUV. I wouldn't compare this cars wind noise against RX. |

The FR-S is highly aerodynamic. The only wind noise I hear at high speed is some sound from the wind around the mirrors. That might be what you are hearing.
