SanDiegoYogi Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just picked up my car yesterday and right away noticed what sounds like the drivers window slightly open when it's not. I didn't notice this on the test drive. Anyone else notice this? I'm loving the car but with the radio off, or even low volume the noise is annoying!

nmorrisii Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I noticed this on my 2017 Energi, and thought it was my imagination. I came from driving a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid. It's not like there's a whistle or wind noise, just seems not as quiet as I expect. I have to get my TCU replaced recently, and they gave my late model Ford Edge rental for the day. It had the same "not as quiet" sensation. I've learned to accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I eventually noticed that the weatherstriping between the front and rear drivers-side doors folds, and when it does it lets in noticably (but not intolerably) more noise. I have yet to really resolve it, other than trying to remember to un-fold it after opening the rear door. kyledamron1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackalopetx Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 This car has terrible sound insulation. It's better than a Prius or Fit but less than midsize sedans etc. The problem is you wouldn't know this from testing in magazines and the like, because they go by noise level, which is reduced by good aerodynamics. So the car isn't itself very loud even at 90mph, you just get the outside noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG ROCCO Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah, i notice the C-Max does transmit some road noise in the driver's door area, at least compared to my 2012 Lacrosse...which is very nice and quiet, i would say. Maybe the weatherstrip issue Noah mentioned is worth investigating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Check the door frame alignment. It's real easy to lock your keys in the car. I did it dropping the car off for service; left the fob in the car, closed the door and it locked. The had no way to get in better than prying back the door frame and hooking the lock tab with a coat hanger. Before they "succeeded" I had my wife bring the other fob.

BobRay Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Others have suggested a confused automatic noise-cancelling (ANC) system as the culprit in weird cabin noises. There's a panel below the glove box with a 6-pin connector where all the wires are blue or brown. If you pull it apart, it will turn off the ANC system. Worth a try for persistent noises. One forum member thinks that his ANC sometimes works backwards -- making the noise louder rather than cancelling it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRGTi Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 My Energi Titanium is the quietest car I've ever been in, though I don't ride in the luxury brands much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcesni Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 My right rear door fits relatively poorly, especially towards the roof as if the door had once been pried far enough to slip something in to unlock the car. I'd love to make it more quiet but don't really see a clear path towards making it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
