We bought the car new from Honda... Already has some wind noise as expected. But when the car went over 40 mph, you could hear it as if a window were cracked. The noise was coming from the front of the car. Center front dash area. We really noticed when the recirculating button was engaged. Air could be on or off; didn't matter. We took the car in and Honda did a trouble shoot... Found that the foam seal between the front windshield and dash area was not shimmied correctly. So they repaired and the noise has subsided. I hope this helps with other similar complaints. I am posting since there were similar issues with other Accord owners...

Great car with some HUGE issues. 1) Interior Noise VERY POOR for this level of vehicle. 2) Wind Noise is prominent on the passenger side with a high pitched whistle sound. 3)on cold mornings, there are clicks around the glove compartment/airbag when I hit a bump at speeds from 10-50 mph. When it gets warmer out or the car warms up - it goes away. It sounds to me like something near the airbag sensor or deployment unit?

I just got new 2008 honda accord, Ex-L V6. When driving around 45mile+, I hear wind noise through the driver's door.My car has just been a week since I got. when I open the moon roof on the freeway, the noise is almost killing my ears. It really bothers me. I do not know what the problem is. Honda just took my car back to find out the problem. there is no way to fix it. this is my third honda accord. I am very disappointed in Honda accord.

I'm going to see if anything can be done. It happens more on the driver's side, I believe, and kicks in around 60 MPH.

While driving at 45+ MPH there is an excessive wind noise coming from side of the car near the drivers door pilar. It also happens on the passenger side. Honda checked and said it is coming from the door handles and that there is no fix for it. Again I am disappointed with Honda for turning their back on this issue. I fell they dont want to deal with it because it is negative news on the release of their pride and joy the 2008 Accord.

Accord EXL V6
i had a whistling wind noise on the driver's side door near the window when i got over about 60 mph. it sounded like the window was cracked open a bit. the dealer tightened a couple of screws on the inside of the driver's side door to secure the black decorative piece on the outside of the door a bit better. it seemed to work. i also have a rattle in the dash near the glove compartment or passenger's side airbag. the car is too new for this crap. any suggestions?
