it seems that whenever i turn off my air conditioning (yeah, loving sunny L.A.) there seems to open some vent and small air seems like its seeping in. Its pretty noticeable. Even the girl was like, 'um, is your window open a little?' and started checking around for some source. So i turn on the air conditioning for a moment and the sound goes away (like it was bypassed and shut off by the air conditioning system) but once i turn it off, it seems to open a vent for air to 'seep' in. Any idea?

I just experienced this problem for the first time yest. in my 02 a4. I kept double checking the windows to make sure they were up.

 

if it comes and goes with your a/c, then most likely it's an a/c issue...maybe you have a crack in the vent ducts (i know that's not the right term there, sorry) under the hood....just a thought

 

Not sure exactly, but you might try opening and closing your sun roof, sometimes mine doesn't close all the way and I get a lot of noise. Perhaps the A/C is just covering it up... Sorry I couldn't be more help.

 

I ran across a fix for this at audiworld a while ago and I don't know if it's going to do the trick but you give it a try:

Fixing Wind Noise Problems

Keep us informed...

 

I have been noticing the similar problem over the last few months. From what I can tell, it comes from the top corner of the my (driver) side door - like if the window is cracked open or something. Its noticeable at higher speeds and sometimes disturbingly loud (i think depends also on the direction of the wind)

I had a auto body shop look into it but they couldn't really diagnose the root cause. He suggested it could be driver side mirror issue cuz thats what it is most times according to him. But i doubt that (only cuz the sound does not come from that direction). I think I will still try the fix from audiworld as Aliel suggested and see how it goes. Will keep you posted.

Audily yours,

Have problem with the sound (noise) coming from the drivers side window. Did the match test and found no gaps. Now I'm preforming the same test with all the windows and sunroof.

2004 1.8ltr ultrasport.

 

on the toll road, or the freeway, when i have my racks on it sounds like i'm going through a wind tunnel.. even with the fairing

 

Check the sun roof and see if it is sealed all the way or not. That was the problem with mine. If it is then see the posts about sun roofs. I could hear the noise when the sun roof shade was open the when i closed the shade it dampened the sound. Thats how i knew that was the problem. Hope that helps.
