Wind Noise on the highway.

[redvettx2]

I have seen people say the wind noise is horrible. I have seen other say its not bad its a truck on 35's. I have been looking at reviews etc and compiling info. From what I see the people with roof racks are complaining about wind noise. Rigs with no rack not so much. I have an upper light bar on my Jeep and it whistled like crazy until some mods were made. Love to hear from those with and without racks on wind noise on the road. 2 door sas ordered here no rack

The faster I go on the freeway, the more noise I get. It's not overbearing, I have yet to turn the volume past 11 (medium level). My DD is a Fusion Hybrid so pretty much everything is louder, lol.

Noise canceling earbuds.

No more than anything else out there

I drove a 4 door Wildtrack w/mid and found it perfectly acceptable. Similar to maybe your average SUV 10 years ago, but not like a modern one that is coffin quiet. I also drove a 2 door Badlands w/high and probably couldn't live with the noise level of that. Couldn't hold a conversation at highway speeds, Not sure if it was the washout interior or the rear wheels being that much closer. Probably a combination of the two.

It is genuinely noisy at highway speeds but it's nothing unbearable. You can easily hold a conversation with someone or drown it out with the radio. It's not *bad* but it is absolutely there.

It's worse on windy days but still perfectly fine for a daily commuter.

I drove my dealers demo with roof rails, Yakima platform, and maxtrax up top and it was actually about the same as having nothing up there.

I would describe it as loud AF. I live in a coastal area that is always windy. Cross winds are especially bad. The problem with mine and others I’ve seen is gaps in the weather stripping. This one is right above driver and passenger head. Stuff some craft foam or other shit from your wife’s craft room in there and it’s more bearable.

Picked mine up 2 days ago and the wind noise is ridiculous. I took the panels off today to check the seals and they look ok but it appears the latches are not super tight and some are tighter than the others.... I'm thinking there must be adjustments. I will look at it this weekend. But the wind noise in mine is not acceptable

Put nitto mud grapplers on, no more wind noise...problem solved.

Stereo stays around 7 at highway speed. Normal conversation volume over the noise. I get more road and engine noise than wind. That’s running 35/12.50x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on. Two door Badlands/sas/lux. No rack.

Two door hardtop with roof rack is super loud driving highway speeds. Almost impossible to make a phone call. Have to turn up the radio very loud to hear music. But it doesn’t stop me from loving it any less (although let’s get real. I wish it was 10 times quieter)

Let me know if that works

It's not bad at all. If you think your Bronco is loud, just drive around with the doors off for a few days. Put your doors back on and enjoy the luxury quietness that is the Ford Bronco. Stereo at about 15 (B&O) is enough to completely drown out the background noise.

I never drive without the music on or else I start getting wigged out on all the other strange noises this thing makes. Why does my seat click when I brake? Why do I hear a relay click any time I come to a stop? What is that new grinding noise in my transmission? Who cares! - turn the music up.

I lucked out and got zero whistling or increased road noise with my lightbar right from the day I installed it. Not from my podlights, either.

2 door no rack. No complaints at 90. My exhaust is louder than the wind noise. You can hear it pushing air but I don’t think it’s bad at all. Have taken the roof panels off twice for ceram application. No issues with noise after putting them back on. Im confused when people say it’s horrible. My opinions based off my daily suburban I drive. Burbans quiet as hell and rides real nice on the highway. Don’t think the bronco is bad on noise at all for being a brick.
Not to sound like a dick but I’m wondering if people are expecting too much from it for the price point. I mean I expect my 90k burban to be tits. I don’t expect that from a 50k bronco. Least not manner wise.

Its not bad at normal highway speeds 65 or less. we have some 80pmh limits here and at 85 its pretty nuts especially with cross winds. I have noticed with the heat fan on high at 80 plus the top rear corner of the 2 door glass actually sounds like a window down, turned the fan off and a sounded like I rolled it up lol gonna have our body shop take a look almost seemed like it just wasnt sealed, like I needed to stop and open/close the door
