PW25 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have a 2008 Ford Edge and when I roll the back windows down, the sound becomes really loud and distorted. It makes it so that I can't roll the back windows down it's that bad. What is the possible cause of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PW25 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 While they're going down and then the sound remains. I didn't leave them down for too long, probably 5-10 seconds, then I just rolled them back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 It's actually Helmholtz Oscillation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is resonance and it happens with almost every new car today because they're made much more airtight than ever before. It's like blowing on the end of a bottle - there isn't any where for the air to escape. All you have to do is crack another window and it should go away.

PW25 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Okay. I had a feeling it had to do with that. Seemed like the blowing of air and no where to escape. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
