Road Noise Help
Here recently I have been driving with my radio off and have realized that I can hear ALOT of road noise while driving....lots of whooshing sounds etc etc...I dont know if this is because I am lowered or what....
But is there anyways to fix this? Or at least make it better....cause when I get around 60mph its LOUD!!

I dono how to explain it....like the car isnt sealed you can hear every noise from the outside....whooshing like wind blowing in....Its just not as quiet in the inside as say my GFs sunfire

try some lubricant for all the molding around the windows and doors. sometimes through time they can dry up and shrink a little, but just enough to allow air to leak in. GM makes a lubricant for it

Im not talking exhuast or motor noise...Im talking like ambience noise....like i can hear other cars, wind, anything outside really....then when I get on the highway its like wind wooshing noise...really loud at 60+ MPH VERY LOUD like my car isnt aerodynamic or something
I was thinking of filling the doors with that noise padding stuff and when I tear the car down lay it under the carper and everything
kinda like the car isnt sealed somewhere....but it is....no rain get in or anything like that

my windows both work fine....and my weather stripping doesnt leak....but I always thought it looks like the window never goes up completely, even though its completely sealed....this might be how T/A's are though I dont know

I don't think its the mirror as so much as the molding.? I hammerd the dealership about the noise. There solution was to fill the gap infront of the cowel. They stufed some junk in the gap. I have noticed that all of the f-bodys I've seen have this space on the drivers side but not the passengers side. I can post some pic's if they are requested.
