W211 noise on the window???
Hello:
Anyone experienced this? When I'm on the freeway going above 60 or 70, I hear some wind noise coming from both front windows. It's not constant.
This might seem ridiculous, but the best way to describe it is this: Put your index finger in front of your mouth, as in the "silence" or "shhh" expression. Your mouth should be in the whistling position. Blow air from your lips without whistling and run the finger from side to side of your lips, every second or so.
That's what I hear.
Does anyone else out there hear that or should I bring my car into the dealer for some adjustment? Is this normal? Well, I don't expect the car to be completely MUTE from outside noise or is it the way supposed to be (completely mute from outside noise)??
Thank you.

Konigstiger: what about the ROAD NOISE? Do you have that? Is this normal/acceptable? Yes yes, I think what I mean is the road noise. It happened when I run on freeway with unsmooth surface. Please confirm if this is normal, otherwise, I'll ask MB.

W211 owners...
When I run 70mph, I heard wind noise. It is not that bad and probably normal, but I'd like to know if it is truly normal. I ever get into Lexus ES330. When I close the door, it feels like I am being isolated. I barely hear any noise from outside. It was at autoshow, I get into ES330 inside, close the door and barely hear any noise in the show.
Anyone here experienced same thing? Is this normal?
When you guys drive the car at 70mph, "do you only hear road noise and 0% wind noise?" If this only happened in my car, I guess I'll have to visit the dealer.
For those of you who didn't have wind-noise at all, do you mean you guys only hear "ROAD NOISE and 0%-WIND-NOISE"? I am not sure if wind-noise is normal or not. But logically, MB won't make the car inside totally isolated with 0% wind noise. If it does, driver inside won't be able to hear horn from other cars or something which is dangerous...
Please help... love this car a lot,
cheers..
