I really think this new Vios need additional soundproofing.

Congrat to new owner.

Any of u has installed the soundproof system? How is it?

Just called up Toyota Parts Division today, a hood insulator cost RM265 without installation.

How will they do it just to charge you RM265??

I find that the Factory fitted Bridgestone Potenza RE080 tyre become noisy and noisy when drive on rough road surface.

Not the tyres but the entire car. U try to fit the tyre into old vios. U wont listen the noise.

my vios abit noisy when drove fast. will by doing 4 car doors (3 layers) + front bonnet soundproofing help?

Did apply 10mm thickness insuflex on both front wheel arches. I can say it dun give me much effect. Total noise reduce is about 10%. Wondering where is the noise come from.

not sure as i just noticed it today while speeding at duke to catch a meeting. mybe driving at 140km i guess. i realize wind gushing like noise that time. before this not really noticeble as i drove range 60-80km, max 120km at highway. btw, mine is new vios n just got it last month altho bising, but very comfortable n like the FC

The wind noise sometimes come, sometimes don't come.

I suspect the rubber lining and the window tip not tight enough. What I normally do is to reopen the window a bit then close it tight.

i complaint to the toyota service center the same problem. they claimed they have fixed the problems but i still noticed some noise but at least better. I not sure what they did but i just noticed i am not the only person having the rubber lining problem. Those sitting at the back seat will notice more obvious i guess. Sad to know vios have this problem as common issue.

Sometimes it depends on the wind direction also. Meaning on different day, 120kmh got noise, another day at same speed don't got noise.

I think wind noise is acceptable. The most concern is road noise. Try to acclerate to 30-40km/h n let go ur pedal... must off ur radio n windows... try to listen... u will notice tyre noise very loud.

do u guys get any free service or just free labour charge for the warranty period?

1k and 5k free service only...
the rest no more

so, that means after the 5k service, if i service my car at other workshop, my 3yrs warranty will void right?
but toyota service centre price is not cheap leh~ how ar~?

Yeah agree. A bit like that like. Wind noise sometimes got, sometimes not. I often get compliment from those riding in the car, saying the car is quiet but I usually disagree to them, hehe.

Another noise is the high-pitch whistling sound from your window, suspect there's a gap between window tip and rubber lining.

Maybe tis is the latest innovation technology by Toyota. Warn if u have over some speed. Faster u go higher pitch whistling u get. Haha. By the way... still looking the solution for road noise.

normally yes... wat ppl always do is by going to the toyota SC until warranty over then only go other workshop to service.. my car 20k km service, labour charge for it is Rm100 (around there)
