NEW FORD BRONCO HARDTOP - WIND NOISE - HOW BAD IS IT? - MANUAL SASQUATCH - 2 DOOR BRONCO - MIC TOP

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

As soon as my wife took delivery of her 2021 Ford bronco badlands, with the 7 speed manual (6 and a crawler gear), we were immediately impressed by the large amount of wind noise inside the vehicle at highway speeds. This definitely took some getting used to, as neither of us have ever had a jeep, or anything like this before. The new ford bronco 2 door with mic top kind of came as a surprise as to how loud it was. At the same time, I definitely understood that it would be somewhat loud, as the roof is pretty much just a fiberglass bucket.
Regardless of the noise, we love the bronco, these trucks are just a blast. Super fun to drive, they look super neat, and actually ride really well considering how short it is. -Ford, you nailed it.
2021 Ford Bronco Hardtop, Badlands trim, 2.3 ecoboost, 7 speed manual transmission, Lux package, OEM sasquatch beadlock wheels and 35" tires. (DIY manual sasquatch) highway drive and review on cabin noise. This new bronco does have the MIC hardtop, with optional headliner. Using a sound level meter to best display how loud the new ford bronco can be inside. This is just my personal opinion, based on this particular 2021 2 door Bronco hardtop. Overall, I find it to be pretty loud, even talking on the phone, the person on the other end can really hear the road noise.
This ford bronco is equipped with the sasquatch wheels and 35" tires.
It is a 7 speed manual trans, with the 2.3L ecoboost. The F-150 in the video also has an AT tire on it, so road noise between the two should be fairly similar. Hopefully there is some takeaway from the video, I know it's not the most exciting thing to talk about, but definitely something you should consider before buying one of these new ford broncos. Check out my other videos for a bronco 1" leveling kit install DIY, and some other quick tutorials.
Stay tuned to see this bronco get a full high speed polish, and ceramic coating, Removal of the factory flares, and more.
If you have a bronco, would love to hear what YOUR bronco hard top is like. I'm assuming some are much better than others.
Let me know in the comments below what you think, if you have similar experiences to share, or what you would like to see next.
Thanks for watching. Cheers!

    Yup, one of the first things I noticed as well on my 2022 2-door Wildtrak was the excessive wind noise at highway speeds... And I also have a ten year old F150 (2011) that seems like a luxury car in comparison from a wind and cabin noise perspective. Both have ecoboost engines and 35" AT tires so it *should* be comparable in overall cabin noise levels, but not even close. But yes, I like it anyway...

    Two weeks ago I finally received my 2 door WildTrak with sound deadening hardtop, and on the highway the wind noise is definitely loud. I wouldn’t compare the noise to my husband’s 2016 F-150 with a leveling kit and 33” tires because his cab is one solid unit that isn’t removable where the Bronco is 3 sections. I think fair comparison should be made w/ a hardtop Jeep. But, yes, like I said, I 💯 agree it’s loud AF at highway speed. At least it doesn’t leak!

    No leaks is a big plus for sure 🤣. And yeah, a more apples to apples comparison definitely would have been a jeep. Just trying to show what we were used to, to how this was. We've never had a jeep, or similar, so it was a litttttle surprising? But not entirely as obviously there will be compromise with cool features like being able to remove the top!

    I have a 2 month old 2022 Bronco 4 door Wildtrak with less than 500 miles on it. I found the noise very soft compared to what you are experiencing. However, I had the dealer add the OEM roof rack and Rigid 40" lightbar. It is back in the shop today to see what is going on. The noise level at 55 miles per hour is unbearable. I should point out Imy Bronco has the headliner in it as well. The OEM factory roof rack is very low profile. Whatever it is, I told them to take anything they put on it off until they eliminate the noise. I just want my Bronco back to the same level of noise that it came with from the factory. I trust my dealership service department and I know they will resolve it one way to the other.

    Yes, my 2 door MIC is loud, but I don't think it is as loud as yours even at 85 mph. I was going to say, the stock B&O is not going to cover up road noise at 10-12 volume. Now, my Miata had a removable hardtop and was dead silent by comparison. There is no excuse for the noisy MIC top other than excessive cost engineering (which has bit them in the ass).

I’ve also seen videos where people can put their hand through the soft top and top of the door from the flex created on highway speeds.

    Is the noise truly from wind, or tire noise? I wonder if a tire swap would help a lot? An interesting test would be the F150 with the same brand/model of tire as the bronco, or vice versa.

  • @AtlanticBuilt

    The Bronco does have some road noise from the tires, but not enough to be a bother. Most of the sound at higher speeds is from the wind noise. -I Definitely agree, would have been neat to have the exact tire, the F-150 has wildpeaks on it, so they are still an off road tire, but the Bronco has the oem Goodyears, which are a totally different animal.

    my wife and I drove a hard top bronco a few weeks ago and we were both quite surprised by the wind noise. we were both checking to see if a window was cracked open or something. it wasnt that it was really loud, it was just the type of wind noise, like a hissing type sound is the best I can describe it. We had previously test drove some jeeps with hard tops and the jeep didn't have the same wind noise around the top as the bronco. We had planned on getting a bronco until we test drove one. we are getting a jeep instead.

If the noise drives you nuts spend some money on a bad ass sound system and stop crying!! The reason they don’t use KO2 35 inch is because the road noise increases! The wrangler tire is significantly quieter at 35 but the KO two at 33 is quieter than the wrangler. The bronco is not built for speed but for four wheeling at slow speeds.
