Wind noise on the driver and passenger side when you get higher speeds?

[timbola]

I've found it a mission in futility and mine is there all the time at speeds over 45 mph.
I intend to use masking tape on the whole of the driver's front windows and if it's still there I'll tape the door.

I've tried masking tape around the window seals and the wind noise was still there so I tried tape around the door itself and it was still there. I'm beginning to think it's just one of those things.

Mine has always done the same, I think it is just one of the drawbacks of the MG4.

More recent models seem to be better insulated from noise.

I must admit that I haven't noticed this, I'll watch out for it next time I'm out & about

It is possible they've improved it on later models, mine is an early one. Be helpful if people could comment with their experiences.

I'll have to see if I can drive without loud music...

I don't find mine to have any excessive wind noise - certainly no more so than any previous car I've had. (Nova, Escort, Corsa, Astra, Golf, Insignia - in that order).

I noticed a noise this weekend which I believe is aero related. Comes from front of car. Starts at around 40mph to around 55mph. Key thing is it is only present when the AC is off and absent when AC on. I drove around 50mph and could reliably affect the noise by switching AC, taking a few seconds to respond so I guess that a flap is changing position. The noise is very faint and high pitched, bearable although a little annoying!
Car is a gen 2 SE LR.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the exact same noise you are describing, only happens with the AC off. Very annoying! Cheers

Does anyone know what the exact cause is of the 40mph whistle?

Many have speculated it's the gaps between the rear spoiler. I haven't tried taping it up yet though to confirm.
