Wrap a bungie cord around the front cross bar, that will greatly help diminish the wind noise. I have a roof mounted Thule bike rack on my WRX and the wind noise was unbearable before I did the bungie cord mod.

I saw a pic with this done in another thread. So this really works?

It looks like I'm reviving an old thread so hopefully I can still get some feedback. l'm debating between a hitch and roof mount for my bikes. I like the trunk access enabled by roof mount, and I have a custom built bike so I don't want some tailgater to destroy it if it were hitch mounted.

My only concern is the noise made by a roof top rack? I'll probably go with the Yakima EZ Rider and a couple of RockyMounts trays. If you're running a similar set up, how bad is the noise, really? Note: I have the oversized sunroof and almost always keep the shade open. If you have the roof mount, do/did you regret it and would you now opt for a hitch mount instead?

Thanks for your help, I'm trying to get all the facts before I go spend a few hundred bucks on this stuff.
