Fan noise
One of the few things that I can't get used to on my 8 is the noise from the fan. On anything higher than 2 it is obtrusive (unless of course I am really rocking...) I know this topic has come up in various other ways (did the search) but I haven't seen anyone write about a potential solution. Maybe this is much lower priority than HP or MPG :) but it is definitely not in line with the overall 'quality' of the car. :(
The question is what can we do to improve Fan noise within the bounds of a normal driveway mechanic? Craig |
Agreed, it sound like a cheapo fan for sure above #1, and with no sound deadening in (around) the ducts. Now one would hope it wouldn't sound SO BAD until like maybe #3, but no.
I work with computers and the similar problem goes like this: Little fans in constricted areas have to go fast and have aggressive (read noisy) blades to move enough air to matter. Result: Noisy computer (tiring to be near). BIG fans, like 5 or 6" ones in some new cases move way more air, have less aggressive bite to the blades and are whisper quiet (ahhh, the peace and quiet!) I imagine in the space available, Mazda has small ductwork (can anyone who has taken theirs apart verify?), using a small fast fan to move enough air to matter (sort of, I think it is a definitely lacking). Result: What we have (sigh).:( |
Possible Solutions:
1. Turn the radio louder. 2. Open the window. 3. Turn the fan off. :) |

Oh, that kind of "fan noise." I thought you meant the murmur from the crowds that gather aound the car at the mall...

Originally posted by willhave8 I use these already when possible. However, there are situational problems with them... 1) the wife wants to talk :) Craig |
