road noise

ive had a lot more road noise than usual(on rough and smooth roads)....anyone else get it? its at low speeds and high speeds also, ive checked my windows, sunroof, etc..everything is tight....is this natural? anything wearing down i should be aware of, ive got 140k miles(est.).....i guess i should take the carpet out and throw some dynomat underneath? any other solutions?

and tire noise is out of the question, cause ive had someone drive by me and its not loud at all...only basically wind noise....

check the seal in the doors. or the little window alignment plastic piece if the window is on the outside of it that is deffinatly ur problem. also try checking ur trunk seal. that could also trap air into the cab.

Try a rubberized undercoating for sound deadening, although I'm not convinced of the usefulness of this material for keeping rust off the undercarriage (I rented a lift and had a look.. last year's job had half the material peeling off)
