Okay... I know this has been the topic of discussion for months now, but I wanted to get an opinion on how quiet the cabin is for most of you 2002 Maxima drivers... I heard the cabin was redesigned and supposed to be very quiet... no wind noise... although tire noise is usually expected.... what types of sounds do you hear when you're goin above 60 MPH? The dealer claims they can't do anything about it... or can they? I know I can drown out the wind noise with the Bose... but I'd rather enjoy the sounds coming from that stereo without interruption from the wind... feed back would be greatly appreciated.

well, the dealer can AT LEAST perform the TSB for wind noise. cut my noise down 30%

I've had them do one TSB on it... but I don't notice much difference... anymore experiences with this?

I can't say for the 2002's, but my 2k1 is pretty darn noisy. And it's an all-over wind noise...not really centered on the rear winows. Mostly just the sound of wind rushing around the car.

I tried the 2000 - 2001 TSB on my 2002 and it didn't help. BTW, we tested several other 2002 Maximas on the lot and they all made the same noise.

i've noticed this too on my 2k1, so it's definitely not an isolated problem

I've done the TSB twice myself (didn't think I did it right the first time), and it seemed to help a little, but not nearly as much as I was expecting it to. Not sure that there's much else to try, unless someone is willing to try some sort of liquid foam spray like you can do for house windows... I'm guessing that'll be too visible, plus it hardens, so am not sure that's such a good idea. Hmmm....

I really don't think the general wind noise is actually an actionable "problem." It's just the way the car is designed/built. It's just not as solidly put together as we would like.
A co-worker has an Audi A4. That thing is built like a vault. It's very quiet in the cabin (save for the requisite engine note, of course) In comparison, my Max is very noisy. Maybe it's the fact that there's a ton more glass in the Maxima? The Maxima cabin is a whole lot more open than the A4, too. The A4 is a nice tight cocoon. Better sound deadening in the A4 as well?

Are there any TSB for wind noise on the 2k1?

djmaxski

Yeah, I believe its located in the TSB sticky at the top of the page... It might not specify 2k1s though, but I think it applies.

My 2K1 had extreme wind noice coming from the passenger side rear window from day 1. Had the TSB done. It eliminated that noice. Now I can hear all of the other wind noice around the rest of the car. Sounds like most if comes from the mirrors.

I've recently been in a 2K2 which sounded much quiter than my 2K1.

make sure there are no gaps in your seals. Check your B pillars. Also check around your mirrors and make sure everything is flush.

every bit helps.

Yeah, I am having mine done for the second time and the SM has taken full responsibility for it. Its a vendetta for him now. I wish him the best to get it solved. The little fixed window is the origin of the noise...how to correct? I guess he'll figure it out....I hope.

its in the top arch of the back window. 2 cents worth of foam.

I'm not sure where a 'few least' came from.. I gotta quit coding and conversing.. they arent compatible.
