    wind noise

    Hi, I am not sure if any of the K5 owners notice the wind noise coming from the side mirrors when traveling at 80Km/h. Thanks.

    I did notice some intermittent wind noise from the mirrors at about 75 mph on the highway this past weekend. Crosswinds were pretty strong. I have not heard any noise with local under 50 mph driving.

    It is so much quieter than the Impala I had that I haven't noticed anything.

    Wind noise is not an issue but road noise definitely is. Maybe I can't hear the wind noise because of all the road noise

    I hear an intermittent noise from the driver side window also. Haven't dissected the cause yet but I'll pay attention to the speed next time.
