Road Noise is horrible in the Maverick 2.0

[FirstFord]

As I recall, the Lariat Lux package has a heavier windscreen. Maybe that helps. I haven't seen any underwood adding i any of the photos. Possible factor...

how's the road noise in that Super7?

I definitely prefer to drive with earplugs but the noise is more due to the wind than mechanical sounds.

I wonder if anyone has seen any testing on low noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels. The first thing I noticed when I got on the Freeway the first day I picked up my Mav was how loud it was. I am not talking about the engine. You can barely hear that, but the actual noise of the tires on the road and wind noise on the windshield. I own several cars that are 2011 and newer, and the maverick is the loudest by far. And all the other vehicles have class E M&S tires that should be louder. Maybe due to being closer to the ground than the other cars I drive. I had a 2016 Tesla Model X, and I know it is an electric motor, but the inside of that car was as quiet as they come, probably a lot more aerodynamic and Dynamat throughout...

Could be the tires causing a lot of the problem... any off road tire is going to be louder than A road tire

My XLT is "quieter than Rolls Royce" to quote a Ford commercial from 1965......

I put Michelin LTXs on and it helped some of the tire noise. Overall the truck isn't too bad. We've done some 3 hour drives and it wasn't unbearable. My Ram 3500 is dead silent inside, even towing 18K lbs. But, that's a $90K+ truck too.

Too?

Nice flex re the tesla. Are you seriously comparing a high end luxury electric to a cheap pickup truck?

There basically isn't much noise dampening in the mav. If you watch vids of people taking off door panels there is none. None under the hood either. That's what you get for a sub $20k vehicle. Amazon carries self adhesive sound dampening sheets if it's important. I am thinking about doing that if it feels too noisy but other people's reviews say it's fine. Will have to wait and see.

you can take it to a linex shop. They have sound deadening sprays that con be applied to the undercarriage that can help. I am thinking about doing it myself to help with the road noise.

And about 30 grand more

If you just can’t stand it anymore might I suggest a CONTROL Cone of Silence. Should be able to pick one up for about 20K which should be no problem if you are used to far more expensive vehicles than your Maverick.

I have a Lariat with sound shield wind shield. No wind noise. Road noise is only a bit loud on the roughest highways. Creaks and rattles are 0. Also most OEM tires don’t help. I think it only needs sound deadening sheets on back panel of passenger compartment. I do plan to add it in that area.

I took the front carpeted floor mats and put them behind the back bench seats along with winter gear.

I found that tire road noise was related to condition of the roadway . fortunately on are trip to Baltimore and back to FL . most roads were ok . rough roads were louder . tires have a lot to do with road noise . maverick Levels of noise is about the same level as our Camry .

I am currently out of town and I am renting a Ford Edge. For what it’s worth my Maverick has less air noise than the Edge. It’s the SEL model. You would think that a vehicle with all of the bells and whistles would be more quiet than a budget pickup.

I just turn down my hearing aid. Very quiet in all conditions.

I nhaven't been on the highway much yet, but my Maverick Lariat with lux package and 18" Michelin tires is quieter than my F150 was. The lux package has a noise reducer windshield that also helps. That and my radio is always on, there is that....
