Cabin Noise/Sound level at ~35 mph & ~65 mph, flat road

[rickkapur]

Folks,

Curious, how is the cabin noise faring? I keep questioning myself if it is getting worse, or is same as when i got the car a year ago?

Would love to see what what type of sound decibel levels do you see in the car cabin? You can easily measure it with a Android or an IOS device/phone, there are free apps for it.

Pls indicate your Year Model & Decibel pls...at ~35 mph, and at ~65 mph, or a flat road (no bumps; normal pavement...i know, pavements vary), sunroof closed.

Thanks

For instance mine is...
2015 Genesis 5.0
~35 mph: 55 db
~65 mph: 65 db

Have you changed your tires yet? As your tread wears down, the tires will get a little louder. Are you hearing more road noise or wind noise ard the doors?

I did the same db reading, but a while ago. It fell within the range that I recall reviews stated when the car was initially tested. I will try again and post my results.

One thing I noticed (but did not measure) was a reduction in noise when I performed a thorough cleaning of the door seals (the rubber and the metal it mates).

I did not find any reviews with db reading. Would love a pointer to any of those.
Thanks
