Has anyone started looking at options to reduce sounds coming in from the exterior? I haven't taken delivery of mine yet so I'm not sure how the road noise will compare to my "luxury" LX570 with General Grabbers.

I had a Jeep CJ5 in the early 90's and when the top was off, the only way to counter it was 300 Watts straight into a couple of 12" subwoofers! Of course, it canceled the road noise for everyone else on the highway as well.There is a "Cabin Volume to Exterior Noise Ratio" knob next to the screen. Turn clockwise to reduce apparent exterior noises.

In my old college days of driving Jeep Wranglers (hard top on or off), the only method of communication with a passenger or actually hearing a 311 song playing on the CD player:I had a Jeep CJ5 in the early 90's and when the top was off, the only way to counter it was 300 Watts straight into a couple of 12" subwoofers!

I guess you're lucky...I have the LC standard and 70-75 mph in 80 mph freeway, the wind noise from rear right really bothers me. That's even with music on. It sounds like a loud whistle/constant humming. Guess I'd just need to get used to it.I just completed a 700 mile trip, mostly highway 60-75 MPH. small amount of road noise (stock tires) slightly more wind noise from the mirror but not too bad. I have window tint which helps a small amount. After the "new" wears off, I do plan on putting some dynomat inside the doors against the outer skin to get rid of that hollow tin sound when you shut the doors, which may decrease the noise a little more.
You might try some wide painters tape over all the exposed voids (roof rack holes/crevices etc and take it for a cruise to see if the noise goes away or at least better, that way you might have a starting point to fix it for good..I guess you're lucky...I have the LC standard and 70-75 mph in 80 mph freeway, the wind noise from rear right really bothers me.

SAME!! But that might not be saying much!I guess it’s all relative, but I think the cabin is pretty quiet. Coming from a Jeep Wrangler it’s quiet as a mouse to me.![]()
I had my door panels off so many times I've lost count, by far the easiest............ sometimes a plastic fastener gets damaged, but they're cheap and I keep a wide selection on hand.....LOLI ordered NVX sound deadener for my doors. I'm hoping to reduce the cabin noise and the tinny door sounds that bother me a bit.
The sound deadener products are a complete rabbit's hole of brand holy wars, and you can really spend some cash if you want. This one had decent ratings for the price. Amazon.com
I have concerns about damaging the door cards, so this will probably take me a while to complete.![]()
Ohh thanks for this! Do you have CLD on the outer door skin too? I think what I see here is considered the inner door skin. Did you put anything on the plastic door card?Do the doors, floorboard and rear hatch. Zero regrets. Makes a large difference in road and wind noise. Makes speakers sound better (but replace them, too).
