What's the trick on minimizing wind noise?

You are required to drive 80??

Damn...Idaho and it's draconian speed laws!!!

 

Check your windsheild esp by the pillars make sure theres no gaps and its even . My 2011 had a defected windsheild and was replaced with a factory toyota windsheild .

 

You mean road noise? If your door seals are bad, that will cause wind noise.

 

I'd look up the door seal and windshield seal modifications some have done. Couldn't easily find the thread in a search just now but I've seen it around. I remember frost king was mentioned a few times as the cheaper route. Others here have mentioned RAAM and other purpose-made and $$ materials.

 

Yeah my 2015 Colly was quieter for sure.

 

Did you do the floors too? Or just the doors?

 

I did it all. Blue stuff keeps the metal from vibrating. Then used 1/4 inch closed cell foam on outer door skin. Then more blue on inner door skin and then 3mm closed cell foam. Also did the roof and the floors back wall and behind the fire wall. Sprayed expanding foam in to the a b and c pillars. It was a week long project in a Tucson heat wave. It sucked but well worth it.

 

The vent on the cab back wall lets in a ton of road noise. Make a baffle of some sort to cover that. I used an old, loosely rolled shirt over mine to let air flow enough but muffle most of the sound. sound deadening on the back wall was also fairly efficient. Sound deadening on the inner door panels helped a bit more but most of the wind noise is from the door area. Gluing down the seals helps a bit, use 3M weatherstripping glue. It comes in yellow or black. Pick yellow if you're stupid, I did cause that is all that was available at my Autozone. You can see the yellow under the black weatherstrip and it's ugly when you open the door. Fair warning. I still have a bit of wind noise from the back part of the back door (access cab) area but I've kinda given up already. The more I get rid of the noise, the more I notice the areas that it's coming from. It's much quieter than stock so I called it fixed. Also, I added 1/4 inch irrigation tubing inside my door weatherstripping to fatten it up to try to seal the door better. Don't bother with doing that, it didn't help at all
