External noises coming through

Post by leosayer » Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:10 pm

In general I find the X5 to be a fairly peaceful place with very little road, suspension, engine or wind noise.

However, external noises eg. police sirens, cars with loud exhausts driving past etc. are really noticeable, so much so that I have to check that all the windows are closed.

Is this normal? These noises seem to intrude far more than they did on my previous Audi A6. Maybe I'm just noticing the noises more because the rest of the car is so quiet.

Perhaps I need to install double-glazing  :o
