noise on the windows
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..

Depends on your car, if it is a mercedes i would not expect any wind nmoise at 70. Where is the nosie coming from? You may need to check the doors seals etc. By the way, do you have any roof racks, or additional exterior accessories on you car?

i can hear wind noise at high speeds of 70+ in my sl55 as well... along with some rattling in the front like its coming from the airconditioning vents or something sounds like plastic rattling, hard to locate where the sound is coming from
Road noise... didnt seem abnormal
edit: oh and the wind noise i hear seems to come from above/front of my head if i remember correctly. kinda like where the roof meets the windshield. i will have to check once i get home.
