Question:
Is there any wind noise when going 80mph+ using the thule aerobar vs using a yakima round bar?

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Thule WingBars # TH711400 because it is one of the quietest roof racks on the market, even at higher speeds. The textured surface will distribute airflow which dramatically decreases wind noise. The elliptical shape will provide superior aerodynamics too. The roof rack foot pack is # TH710501 and fit kit is # TH145125.
I wouldn't go with any round bars such as the Yakima Q tower # Y00409 because they won't be as quiet as the Thule WingBars.
They also come in black # TH711420.
I included a informative article and video review for you too.
