ixlar8 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Since Mother Nature has decided to delay summer this year, I have enjoyed low humidity, 70 degree days around here and have tried driving around with the drivers window down and hanging my elbow out the window. However, I cannot do this for long because of the terrible sympathetic resonance which you cannot stand for long. Matter of fact, when you roll down any or all of the windows, you get the womp, womp, womp! Is it the design of the body or the design of the interior? Either way, you HAVE to drive windows up and air on. Frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Turn up the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abowie Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Roll the rear windows down an inch to equalize the interior air pressure...this allows the cabin air to flow without the resonating sound you're hearing.

ixlar8 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nope, I tried cracking the windows, fronts, backs, partially down partially up, halfway down, quarter up, still have the resonance no matter. It appears to be a design problem (at least for me). AND- with the radio cranked up, which is how I usually listen to it, the resonance is even more of a nusance!!

Lex Talionis Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 oh man, Kanatronic is gonna have a fit that you are actually breathing outside air anyway, did you open the BAMR to comfort position? assuming you have the BAMR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixlar8 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 BAMRers and ski racks don't mix, though I may try a couple of rounds from my .38 special if it would help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewydawg Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have the same problem with my Limited! I don't have a BAMR either. I did notice that I had no resonance issues when the backlight exploded one night (??) and I had to drive a couple of days until it was replaced.

Kanatronic Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 NOOOOOOO!!!! Roll up the windows inmediately, you are putting yourself in danger. Oh man!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootertoo21 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I sometimes get this but it goes away if I crank up the vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) ALL vehiclles with a large volume to the rear of the rear windows will act as a LOW frequency whistle... On our '68 station wagon we could lower the rear tailgate glass just a tiny bit and eliminate the helicopter sound effects.

ixlar8 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 For the past half hour I have been trying to find the switch to lower the tailgate glass and, for the life of me, I cannot locate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obviously not looking hard enough. At the bottom inside of one of the rear quarter panels you will find an "exhauster port" for allowing cabin air "flow-through/outflow". In the exhauster port will be a light rubber reverse airflow blocking "flap-valve". Removing that flap valve will result in somewhat freer flow of exhausting REAR airflow and that will help to alleviate some of the helicopter "noise". The action of the flap valve seems to somehow re-enforce the passenger cabin's rear volume resonance effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have then why don't you explain exactly were it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
