I don't hear the wind when the radio is on and it is much quieter than other cars I have been in.
Also it is sometimes hard to differentiate road noise from wind noise. Do you guys get road noise? And does the road noise get louder as you increase speed?

Original glass all around.

Only wind noise detected is when I encounter heavy crosswinds. However, if you really want to hear wind noise drive a 07/08 LS460. It is very distinctive rather than the vague noise I occasionly encounter.

Yes, and with all the *****ing, and trips to two dealers, and a glass place, I am resigned to the fact that there is nothing to be done, it was designed that way. My 99 LS 400 was way quieter than this. It comes from the top corner of the A pillar. Sounds like a window was cracked slightly. Strong side winds make it worse. Taped the entire outer edge of the windshield, no difference.

Yes, I do hear wind noise on my 04, and all the other LSs I test drove before purchasing mine, including a mint 06' with 10K mi. It is less than what you will hear on any other type of car, but its still there.

Just returned from a 14 hour round trip to south of Atlanta and did hear some wind noise at 75 mph and up. However, the trip was "sprung" on me, and I didn't have time to clean and dress the 2002 LS430 as usual (done about every 2 - 3 weeks). This includes a complete internal and external vacuum, good wash, followed by at least a qd, window cleaning including the top of all door windows, cleaning inside the door frames and then qd'ing them, dressing the "rubber" (including the window tracks), and making sure there is no "trash" around the hood, trunk, wipers, etc. Usually, at 80 or so, I only get wind noise with strong side winds. BTW, sometimes the externior mirrors will cause wind nise. Did you try driving with them turned in?
