Anyone in the Northern Virginia area?

Folks, anyone in the Washington DC metro area with a 2024 X7 40i?

I feel like I hear wind noise in mine - but I cant tell if it's normal or out of whack. Would love to take a ride in another X7 to see if it's all in my head or not.

The X7 is quiet, but based on reviews, I expected it to be library quiet, and it's not. Maybe I am just expecting too much.

Funny enough, I’ve been wondering the same thing. At 80mph it’s quiet (about 65-68dB) but it’s not absolutely silent. Been meaning to try another one from the dealership just to confirm.

I may be taking “library quiet” too literally.

I've heard that noise at highway speeds in both my 19 and 22 - sounds like it's from the drivers mirror area just outside the window. I feel like I remember a thread on this specific noise as well as a potential solution but I haven't been able to find it.
