Title says it all. Went on a trip over the weekend, about 5 hours total at 72-76mph. Had lots of wind noise from the top of the windshield/freedom panels. Anything I could try to remedy this?
Well that's disappointing. Mine is automatic and I am curious what the dealership will say. Always put in manual mode and shift at a higher RPM? lol
I don't agree running higher octane fuel should be an answer. It may reduce/eliminate the noise but who knows if the problem is still there and...
I've had CJ's, TJ's, and Libertys in the past. So, I'm not new to Jeeps and Highway usage. Now that I have a JT, when purchased I never expected it to as great on the highway as a car or pickup which is designed more aerodynamically, and I have not been proven wrong.
I have an 2020 Overland...
I dunno - this is the first Jeep of "this style" I've ever owned. I've never owned anything like a Wrangler, ever.
We're used to my Silverado (talk about a luxury truck for it's day) and loaded to the max Grand Cherokees with full IFS and rack and pinion steering and whisper-quiet cabin.
My...
Try my suggestion, repeated in post #28, or wait for the next holiday sale. You could try a PM to their forum account and see if they will offer something.
Hi - I already have the Mopar headliner for my Freedom Top (came with my 21 Mojave). Just curious if there are better options to reduce the highway noise - such as swapping the Mopar headliner with some other option.
Or should I not expect much improvements beyond the Mopar headliner and...
Something like an INNO wind deflector attached behind the light bar could reduce wind turbulence. Not sure how effective it will be overall. I plan on putting lights on my bed rack to keep the noise down...
Good to know. Added the optical output to the PAC AmpPro since my DSP has the optical input, so hopefully just using a fiberoptic cable between the two will reduce any chance of noise from RCAs.
Will make sure to clean/grind the spot for a really good ground connection as well.
As another member pointed out in a totally unrelated thread - the engineers are stuck - total efficiency and doing the very best vs. vibration, noise, feel, etc. - there's a term for it but I've only had one coffee so can't pull it out of my head right now. They must build for the market, the...
...was used to create the 4.0.
A number of changes were made over the years - head design changes, split pattern cam, block reinforced to reducenoise, double-roller chain and snubber to reduce engine sounds, and more.
I'd love to see a Jeep come out with an I6.
I do think that Jeep needs to...
I’m guessing if I didn’t read so many threads about wandering I would’ve assumed the steering was quite good for a truck. Just in case I bought an adjustable Teraflex Nexus stabilizer for my Mojave and while it doesn’t turn the JT into a Miata, it seems to help reduce the dead spots a bit...
I have some hearing loss, and tinnitus. digital noise canceling hearing aids are your best bet.
these are intelligent, they amplify voices, and reduce/cancel background noise. seriously, instead of trying to make your truck quiet, go the hearing aid rout first. Your money will be better spent...
Good point on that hard angle. I wonder if a visor or some such device may improve flow.
I'll check out Sound Assassin.
Godo to see another San Diego Jeeper
Put Kilmat down across the entire floor to try and reduce heat and deaden the floor a bit. Seems to work pretty good and noticed a difference. Is it worth the effort…. From a heat perspective it helped the back floor board considerably. From a sound perspective, it helped with tire and engine...
as a few have mentioned, there are sound assassin strips that can come with/go under hot head headliners that help reduce interior noise. The Mopar liners are kind of just stuck on up there and are more flimsy by comparison.
You mentioned maybe getting a Ram instead, I've had many, including...
I'd say it's possible to reducenoise with Sound Assassin type materials in door/tub and get some headliners. The most noise - imo - comes from the top edge of the windshield where it meets the freedom panels - that hard angle. I don't know of anyway to stop that.
If the situation persists, I don't think sound deadening will reduce the dB level enough to make it tolerable for you.
Weird idea, look at David Clark headsets. Full duplex and made for high noise environments while allowing easy conversation. Used in aircraft, fire trucks, offshore, etc. They...
