How is the wind (or road) noise in your F150L? For some reason, I think my 2021 F150 Lariat PowerBoost was quieter going down the highway.

Mine is a bit quieter than my '21 Powerboost was. It still has the 45-50Mph wind 'rattle' though just like the last 4 F-150's I've owned. I'm used to it now. It's that little rattling wind noise that sounds like it's something that's flapping or jiggling just outside the driver's door. It goes away above 50Mph though. I think it's turbulence around the mirror, but not really sure.

Fold the mirrors and see if it goes away!

I have some wind noise at highway speeds on the driver door, I think there is a small gap where air must be getting through. It bugs me. I need to investigate further and compare driver and passenger sides to see if it's actually more pronounced on driver side as I think it is.

I don't notice any stray air getting in on the highway. It's not dead silent, but I think it's a bit quieter than my Model S.

I’m taking mine to the dealer for this today. My last 5 F-150s have had some degree of this but this one by far seems to the most annoying.

I heard wind noise and then I found out it was coming out of the headrest if I had the seat a/c on :LOL:
When they're cranked up and you lean away from the seat there's a real whirlwind!

yeah, the ventilated seats are super loud - I suspect in the ICE F-150 it's not noticeable but the Lightning is quiet enough that it's really noticeable.

Mine is insulated with sound deadening material in all-4-doors and entire rear cabin area. It's 'awesomely' quiet. It was quiet to begin with, but I like working on it, and I can't change the oil or anything, so I'm looking for projects :) . I don't think there is a way to quiet the wind on the windows, maybe some of those window deflectors? I don't know, I may try some, if I find some that are slick.
