Re: '06 Odyssey - sonic "thumping" with sliding door windows down
Yes! I have an '06 Odyssey, and whenever my kids have those windows down,
it's deafening, and I feel like my head will explode from the thumping it makes. It's like going deaf and it also actually "hurts" so those windows NEVER come down on the highway, especially! aulttim wrote: >When driving at highway speeds, our '06 Odyssey produces a wierd sonic >"thumping" sensation when the sliding door windows down (even just >partly, in my experience) while the drv/pass windows are up?

Re: '06 Odyssey - sonic "thumping" with sliding door windows down
Exactly! The sensation is painful, and sometimes it can be nauseating.
Lowering either front window (or locking the rear from being lowered) is the only solution it seems. I discovered this annoying characteristic with the '06 Odyssey after trading in an '05. A feature of the '05 is the tilt-out rear windows which provide air flow through the van. I did not notice the thumping in the previous model--it is possibly opening the rear windows was the reason. Honda issued a TSB against the '06 Odyssey regarding a high-pitched whistle heard from the front of the van at highway speeds (a correction kit is available and owners can contact a dealership to have this problem fixed under warranty). I am curious if Honda has issued a TSB regarding the thumping phenomenon--a.k.a., aeolian oscillation; "pop bottle effect"; etc--common to the '06 Odyssey model. Tim. |

Re: '06 Odyssey - sonic "thumping" with sliding door windows down
actually, that's not such an unreasonable suggestion. since the rear
windows do not tilt out in the '06, the air gets stuff for third row passengers. cracking either rear tilt-out window lt'd likely reduce or eliminate the pop bottle effect when a passenger window is lowered. i'd say those are two good reasons to add the rear tilt-out windows back as a feature of succeeding models. i must admit i've entertained the idea of.. um.. "restoring" the feature. the dimensions of the rear window glass & frame are different between model years, so a retrofit of the '05 system into an '06/'07 is not an option. a cursory search aftermarket kits of this sort didn't result in any acceptable solutions. maybe a vent or moonroof might be effective. |

Just a thought, based on no experience (my Honda is not an Odyssey) Has anyone tried those deflectors that mount on the forward upper edge of the windows? ( http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/10A10002.aspx ) I have no idea if they work at all, much less as a possible solution to this problem |
