I was told that when you lower your car you sacrifice some of the quietness characteristic of our cars. But I'm not sure how this works....I'm not doubting them, but I need an explanation of how this happens. And what kind of noise is created? If anyone could help me out, it would be great. Thanks!

 

well i have an Accord coupe and i don't think the drop added more road noise if any

 

I didn't notice any, but if it does it would have to be realated to the aerodynamics of the car.

For example less air travels under the car if lower. Does that create noise

 

I lowered my car today and I havent noticed any additional noise or rattles.

maybe since ur closer to the ground, maybe more ground noise...

 

as far as air flow goes... I don't think that's gonna be the cause or at least not gonna create an noticable difference in normal driving...

but it does create the following effects...

1. depends on your spring/coilver, your car can be a lot STIFFER, and that will cause more rattle, nosie cuz it's bumpier...

2. if your spring/shock is not installed correctly, then they may create some noise, too...

Being closer to the ground, your car has less frontal aera.... which should compensate any extra noise caused by the underbody if any!!! So, wind noise shouldn't be a problem..
