worst i ever experienced was a test drive i was on for a girlfriend. she wanted a volkswagen jetta but wanted me to drive it for some reason. she was in the back seat monkeying with the windows (cause how can you buy a car w/o checking the back windows first) as we were driving down the highway. since the car had just rolled off the hauler, it still had the plastic covering on the back seat. you want to talk about bone deafening noise, it was extraordinary!

This is addressed in the owners manual. They don't emphasize how bad it is.

My wife has a 2010 Acadia and it does it so bad that it will vibrate the interior rear view mirror and it sounds like a helicopter is right above you!!

I haven't noticed it in my crew cab yet.

Many recent cars have such warnings printed. I believe one of the rentals I drove have that warning on the driver visor.

If you crack your drivers or passenger window an inch or two I really helps out. It won't take it away and road noise will be louder of course. But I find It will get rid of the the vibrations it brings.
