Road Noise

OP, you should post up in this thread BTW the worst cars for road noise are the whites one with black interior. Complete opposite for black exterior and white interior.

Wait did I miss something?! Since when does color have anything to do with road noise?! Unless you are trying to make a funny?

Looking at it from a polarity perspective, like a magnet, white paint attracts the black pieces of asphalt better than say, magma red. Just like the different poles of a magnet attract each other. So in the end, more asphalt pieces on the road being attracted to a Pearl White Z means more road noise. The OP purchased a white car and filled it full of dynamat but that added unnecessary weight when all he had to do was by a black car. Black cars repel road debris.

Does your head hurt yet?
