Lessen wind noise?

is there a way to lessen wind noise? Sorta sounds like both driver side and passenger side windows are slightly cracked. But theyre not. Door seals are fine

I bet your seals are not actually fine.....or the door is tweaked not sealing all the way.

i actually replaced my driver side seal it was screwed up from previous owner. It helped some as noise was coming from everywhere but noise still sounds like its around the windows. Ill try and get it checked out when i can.

These cars are actually very quiet... so im surprised you are having this issue. Something must be off.

There's also the noise cancellation system in your audio options that could help, but i doubt it.

It could be the inner weather strip on the doors. (So you can see what I mean it's parts 20/21 in this link Genuine Acura OEM Automotive Parts Catalog - Bernardi Parts). On my car if the windows are all the way closed the inner door panel will flex in a way that can cause a tiny gap between the weather strip and the glass. If I tap the window switch down for the smallest possible time the window moves just ever so slightly, relieves the flex and the gap goes away. So too does the extra road noise. It's not really that bad in my car even with the gap. I only notice it when the radio is off. But if the prior owner damaged the strips (or worse cut them to keep them from damaging any aftermarket tint) then you may be SOL.

The strip around the window looks fine. A little ragged towards the bottom area in line with the carseat...according to the carfax the tint was installed at a Honda dealer.

It doesnt appear that they damaged anything from what i can tell...

do the strips sit lower than the plastic outer piece?
