Thule Roof Bars Wind Noise

Square bars are the cheapest although they are the least aerodynamic meaning more whistling at high speeds and a higher mpg.

Thule roof bars wind noise.

Constantly aiming at staying one step ahead and working closely together with the car industry thule introduces a new generation of roof rack systems. 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. Cross bars cross bars hold everything together. 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. There are three main types. 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. A textured surface disturbs the airflow and greatly reduces wind noise.

Square circular or aero. These roof rack cross bars also have many smart design features. Choose aerodynamic roof bars for superior performance and a sleek sophisticated look that complements the lines of your car. Thanks for any insight and suggestions.

Will a thule fairing be effective in reducing the noise and will it make the rack nore aerodynamic when not carrying the kayak. Is there a way to stop the whistling without installing a fairing as i really do not like the look of the fairings. 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. The next generation of roof racks.

Thule edge and thule evo. I just installed a thule roof rack on ny 2004 honda accord. The aluminium extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market.
