I hear you Taz . I'm hoping this becomes the new RHD footrest debateYou can download a decibel meter app and post results here.
In the interests of keeping this thread going as long as possible.
But I'm sure everyone knows that already so debate away!
Winds.What noise are you experiencing?
You mean wind?
Try this. Mine whistles when driving high speed caused by the flap actuators not closing properly in the HVAC system (sticky actuators/flaps). I usually have the Auto climate control turned on (auto button). Try turning the fan speed to 1 and magically the whistling wind noise stops. I discovered that recently. This issue is intermittent as the HVAC system has a mind of its own.Winds.
Old Porsches suffer from what is known as the "magic blower syndrome".This issue is intermittent as the HVAC system has a mind of its own.
I am using DecibelX (https://skypaw.com/decibelx.html)Hello guys, I‘d like to join your noise level test scheme once my vehicle is back from the workshop. Can anyone perhaps suggest a decent app / way to measure the noise level? Has anyone also experienced the whistling sound from the raised air intake / snorkel while accelerating / stepping on the accelerator pedal?

This is with the windows up and a raised air intake on the vehicle?I repeated the Noise level test with a different app. It confirms the previous test.
Haha, if we do 138kph over here in Victoria we would almost have our car crushed for “hooning“.Hi Bushguide,
I had my Grenadier almost three weeks ago, so I am reviving your post because I also noticed a high air noise level while driving.
I am attaching several images showing the noise level (Showing the noise level and the car speed). I think if we are going to drive long distances on highways, it won't be comforting.
Can someone tell us what is the healthy or acceptable noise level?
I must test out my Series 3It is important to know where the measurement is taken. With the camera picture it is quite easy to see.
I know that my Defender went up to 95 db at 140 km/h gps speed. My Grenadier is at 85 db max. at this speed.
10 db means a world!
I was driving on the Highway within the speed limit.Haha, if we do 138kph over here in Victoria we would almost have our car crushed for “hooning“.
May be ok in the Northern Territory
Where I come from, we raise the windows if we plan to drive at that speed.This is with the windows up and a raised air intake on the vehicle?
I get that. To clarify, because you obviously missed the joke. Victoria in Australia is a nanny state where the speed limit is generally 100kph (on some highways it is 110) if you go over, you get fined and depending by how much. lose your licence.I was driving on the Highway within the speed limit.
