Wind noise at 65 mph? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FRSpdDmn · 07-10-2012, 02:18 PM

I hear lots of wind noise. It is one of my biggest complaints of the car (of the few I have). There is a buffeting sound that comes from the area of the rear windows that is pretty annoying. I haven't yet been able to pinpoint what it is. Btw, I will probably be getting my 7500 mile service next week, so I've done a lot of highway driving already with it.

I have a feeling that this could possibly be the sound I'm hearing. But then everyone should be able to hear it right?

I think that's what I'm hearing. It's coming from right around there.

This is one of the most aerodynamic cars in production I think 2nd behind the Prius. I doubt you'll hear anything. This car is slippery as butter

But seriously, its a $26k pure sports car. You're not going to expect ride quality of a Lexus/BMW/Benz. I don't see Lotus owners complaining the car has no cup holders lol, that's because the car has a specific purpose, like this car AND THEN they added daily driving goodies. Trims in Japan come completely stripped!

I hear much more road/tire noise then wind noise if that makes sense.

If you hear wind noise at the windows, it your windows not sealing. Take it to the dealer and have it checked out. You can also put some good rubber treatment on your window seals and it might seal better.

Way more road noise on my BRZ. At 70 there is more wind noise then my sentra. My dodge is MUCH quiter, more lexus like, but that's to be expected with double paned side windows and framed doors. I will be happy when it's time to replace the tire's with something quieter, otherwise, nothing to complain about.

Hey, While I was test driving GT-86 on a race track ( Ill post some pictures from that event soon), I also experienced some wind noise coming out from drivers doors. Didn’t bother me atm, because I was having way to much fun, but I can imagine this could get irritating in everyday use. Although, I believe this shouldn’t be a big problem to fix in your local deal. BTW, hello to all, since I’m new here

As I said, I love this car and enjoy it. I just wondering the car this good should not get wind noise at 65 mph at all. I just wanna find out if this is normal for this car and not just my car.

Thanks again guys

Definitely have slight wind noise at around 70mph. I am fairly positive it has a lot to do with the frameless doors. They just don't provide as quiet of a seal as a door with a frame around the window.

I also notice the tires more then anything else, they are noisy.

Same here. Like the window is not fully shut. I just eventually turn the music up.

Wind noise is more noticeable after getting it tinted. Its audible at 50 mph. I cant tell if its coming more from the front of the window or the back. I Will try and spray water upwards at the seal to see if it leaks through to the inside. Gonna take it to the dealer in a week or two and have them fix it.
