Took on 1800 mile east coast trip in fall, slight sound noticed only a few times when that day had facing wind gusts - overall, a quiet attachment.

Couldn't tell in a 2012 Xterra. ~1400 mile trip. Good quality for the price.

No, it is very smooth and aerodynamic. Just make sure you follow directions and install it correctly.

we took it on a 1500 mil trip last year and we forgot it was even on top of the car at times. we have had good luck with it. even thru rain it stayed dry inside. hope this helps

They have 3M tape backing this is one of the best on the market. I have had it in Texas in well over 100 degrees and set in direct sun light for hours on hours and have not had one problem. They are also very quite when driving. I have had some other brands that when driving the wind noise is very noticeable to loud, these don't have the noise problem. I fill they will hold up just take your time when installing them and prep the surface well. Best of luck -)-

I would never try it. It might withstand high winds blowing at it, but not the effects of a really turbulent wind like when you're driving. It takes 10 minutes to setup then 10 to tear down and pack away. It's worth spending that time instead of trying to drive off with it.

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

sorry this one a tough one to answer. If you are a regular long distance hwy driver then adding any rack you will have some level of noise. but for city driving not bad at all.

I guess it depends on your vehicle roof line, but I'd wager there is a negative impact on mileage. The included faring is supposed to help reduce noise and drag, but I think it adds a lot to the noise, anything over 30-40 mph I can really hear it with my Subaru.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

Mine has been up in some crazy Colorado winds and done just fine, but I have the sand bag weights attached to it or it would have blown away. This is my 2nd year having it up.

For me great. I live in south Florida . Now the wind noise is another story ... It's pretty loud at 75+ mph

Its about as loud a medium box frame fan. although this varies alot on how you have the exhaust set up.

Actually, not really. I haven't really observed much in the way of feedback or bleed-through. The mics are pretty sensitive to wind/breeze, though the windscreens help quite a bit. I've seen some people talk about cable noise affecting their recording but I also haven't really observed that myself either. The only real issue is heavy wind. That can be an issue, but it's really no different with any other mic I think. Minimizing touching of the earphones and excessive yanking on the cables should go without saying though.

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

I haven't had any problems when there is a fair amount of wind noise. My advice is to ensure that you have the right sized buds so it can go deep in your ear canal to block out outside noise. It's an excellent product.

I use it on low and the noise is actually pretty minimal. I can't give you decibels. It is close to my bed and I love the "white" noise it makes. It does put out a lot of air. I use it all year long and I live in Montana. Hope this helps. The wind is a lot more constant than my 12 inch regular fan I use to use.

to be very honnest, I beleive it would not be the best set-up. since you have alot of wind coming to your face. Also, any microphone with your set-up will cause noise to the other passenger. Hope my response is clear enough. Thank you....

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel
