The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars - Steel - 50" Long # SR1002 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Hyundai Sonata. It has a weight capacity of 130 lbs, but you will want to check your owners manual to see if the manufacturer has further weight restrictions on your roof.

There will be wind noise whenever you add a roof rack, and especially when you add a ladder to that rack. If you are concerned about reducing that noise, I recommend the Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # TH82WV which will help reduce this noise.

You will not have any trouble mounting a ladder to this roof rack. You may be interested in the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Crossbar Mount - Side Loading - 132 lbs # RR-RUSL to make loading easier as well as protecting your vehicle from unnecessary dents or scratches.

To secure your ladder, I recommend using tie-down straps like the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 5-1/2' - 300 lbs - Qty 4 # 05605.
