Thule Roof Bars Wind Noise

Just got a new setup thule 450r aero bars echelon tray mounts and it whistles above 20mph which is annoying especially when i have my sunroof open.

Thule roof bars wind noise.

Square circular or aero. These roof rack cross bars also have many smart design features. The aluminium extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market. I have found there to be a lot of wind noise from the towers and cross bars without the j racks installed even at low speeds.

Constantly aiming at staying one step ahead and working closely together with the car industry thule introduces a new generation of roof rack systems. Will a thule fairing be effective in reducing the noise and will it make the rack nore aerodynamic when not carrying the kayak. Cross bars cross bars hold everything together. Thanks for any insight and suggestions.

The low profile thule edge system offers a sleek integrated design while the thule evo system maximizes the loading area and comes with a variety of load bar options. Is there a way to stop the whistling without installing a fairing as i really do not like the look of the fairings. A wind fairing is a plastic shield attaches to the front cross bar and attempts to divert airflow over and away from the bar to reduce wind noise and drag. The next generation of roof racks.

I just installed a thule roof rack on ny 2004 honda accord. A textured surface disturbs the airflow and greatly reduces wind noise. There are three main types. Thule edge and thule evo.

I have seen some whispbars who claim no wind noise at all i just wondered if the thule bars really are noisy or if it is not really a problem. Using a wind fairing will definetely help in reducing wind noise but let s face it it s just another piece of flimsy kit that gets in the way of loading and unloading your gear. Hi all i am about to buy some roof bars and just wondered if anyone can give me an info on wind noise from the thule aero bars.
