Hello,
For those already tooling around in the coupe, at what speed does the wind or tire noise become real noticeable ?? Thanks in advance. ...dean

I havent broken 70mph yet (just got it a week ago)...

Wind noise... what wind noise?

Tire noise... if you get the 18's, you'll hear them just as any other low profile tire.

 

you get that high pitch noise too? sounds like a recorder flute?

I get it at about 60+ on the freeway. seems to be comming from the right side window or sun roof. I can't figure it out. It also seems to happen when the wind hits from the side.

I want to bring it into infiniti so they can check the seals, but how do I get them to hear it? I don't want them joy riding on the freeway till it happens.

Nooooo.. I dont get any wind noise at all. I'm surprised you do. The coupe is a very aerodynamic car.

 

I get it on the side window also. if i roll it down all the way and then back up it sometimes stops. maybe the seals aren't right. i'll check with the dealer.

I really don't get any wind noise. But I do get alot of noise coming from the tires at freeway speed. It's not that big a deal though. I've had low profiles on my wifes VW since we bought it, and with it 1 1/2 inches lower than stock the road noise is even louder than the G. And the G rides much better.

I don't notice any noise with the windows up...and the 18"'s are incredibly quiet for what I was expecting...very smooth car...

 

Yeah, I got the 17"wheels and I hear a lot of tire noise that seems to be coming from the rear right side. Sounds like the window is open back there but there is no window back there!

 

I agree, from the driver's seat there seems to be more wind noise coming from the passenger side rear window than I would expect. If anyone has a solution let us know what it is!

It's not obnoxious, but definitely not as quiet as the front side windows. I guess it could be that there is so little wind noise up front, that the rear is just more noticeable.

I'm not complaining about the 18's at all. they are smooth. My high school cars were lowered 3 inches or more with 30 series, that was noisy, but I didn't really notice over the exhaust .

this wind noise I'm talking about is really loud. It's like a whistle. It's hard to explain it, it just sounds like a recorder flute to me. Similar to a belt slipping, but it's really from the wind.

OvaYahead, for odd sounds in the car, you should always take the tech for a ride to demonstrate. I wouldn't try to explain it then have them come back and say 'didn't notice anything' then you hear it on the way home !! ...dean

Do you mean to tell me that the 17" wheels with the all-season tires are noisy? How do they compare to the 18" tire/wheel combo? How do they compare in ride quality?
