Is there any way to prevent the straps from making loud noise at high speeds or the wind noise from the gap in the door the straps make?

Make sure loose ends are wrapped up and secured. The tighter the straps, the less wind noise resulting from movement and vibration. Mine is used with a roof rack so I don't know how to deal with the door problem.

I remember experiencing the loud noise the first time around. We now tie the loose straps securely by winding them and tying a rubber band. I then secure the strap with gear tie against the roof rack. Basically, nothing moves when the car is in motion.

You can stop the straps from "thrumming" a speed by putting a twist in them, so the don't act like a string on a guitar. (At least that helps on other loads tied to racks with webbing straps, I haven't used this carrier yet (just got it).

we stop the straps from making noise by twisting them aroud themselves and tying them down so there is no slack. we have a roof rack so we didn't have a gap in the door. hope this heps

I don't use a roof rack and gaps in doors are sealed by my cars weatherstrip, never had an issue in heavy rain. Keep straps tight and a half twist in them and they won't "sing" at higher speeds

Becareful over tightening the straps because you will break a buckle. BTDT. The straps should be snug, they don't need to be so tight you can pluck them like a bass. put a twist in the front strap so they don't lie flat and this is enough to change the airflow over the strap to stop the buzzing. The rear straps don't need to be twisted because the airflow is already rough by the time it reaches the rear straps

You're welcome and absolutely reduces the noise of wind rolling over the crossbars. I never heard the wind until I put the crossbars on my SUV, once I installed the fairing I couldn't hear the wind anymore.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

As far as the cables working on the pulleys, there's very little noise. However, if you drop the devices you're using and allow the weights to slam onto the stack, it is possible to make noise. There's a rubber shock absorber on the bottom of the weight stack that helps alleviate noise. If moderate care is taken during workouts, noise should not be a problem.

There are straps that wrap around to the back of the door and kind of wrap the door with the anchor itself. You have to crank down on the straps to get it really tight so don't do it on a flimsy door. I was actually worried my solid wood exterior door would start cracking but so far so good.

I have these racks mounted to the elliptical cross bars on my 2010 FJ Cruiser. No increase in wind noise noticed.

there are plastic lugs on the end of each strap. you put these over the top of the door, then when you close the door they jam on the other side. You need to mount them such that the door would open away from you, this uses the door frame itself to stop the door bending. i use mine in rentals/hotels and never had it damage a frame.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

Hello, we (GrepRobbert Pet Supplies) have not had noise complaints with this item. It also is a popular product for us. Thank you for your inquiry.

The attachments are secondary components like bike racks and stuff. Yes there is some wind noise but it is minimal. The rack comes with some rubber strips that go into the T-channel slots which makes the rack much quieter with out it creates a noticeable whistle.

I actually have kept mine on for 2 years now and the deflector works fine (I zip tied mine like the other guy mentioned, nice and snug). I haven't noticed any additional noise due to it. I did lose about 2mpg from adding the rack but that's the sacrifice I'm willing to take. It's pretty easy to take on and off (5-10 min). I also have run it through car washes without any issue as well. Hope this helps.

The straps that hold the sides from flapping have broken in mine but are easily replaced with some cordage. I have had. I other quality issues. They hold up well. I have not made any attempt to add to the top of it but I don't see why you couldn't.

Inbetween the round blocks that prevent it from being pulled through a door are 2 straps that have a space through them. I have a pullup bar in my doorway with handles that I loop the straps on.

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

I just have side bars on mine. They don't even allow you to pass through to hook the tie downs. So I just put ratchet straps across it one in front and one in back. Made 300 mile trip to Myrtle Beach and never came loose that's at speeds of 70 mph. On the way back it was horrible rain and wind almost the entire trip back home and everything was dry. Would really recommend this product.

I haven't had any problems when there is a fair amount of wind noise. My advice is to ensure that you have the right sized buds so it can go deep in your ear canal to block out outside noise. It's an excellent product.
