Do you have B&W and know if the Inscription you test drove had it? :wq

Neither the inscription nor mine have B&W speakers.
I also test drive momentum with B&W on 20" at the time and found the noise similar. At the time no R design was available to test drive. Is it possible the difference in alloys design plays some parts or it just got older with less hearing? Basoom |

All, there is also a dedicated thread on this subject on this thread on the Volvo Support Forum, its been going over 6 months and contributors claim recognition from Volvo, but no resolution.
I'd encourage anyone who hasn't to have a read and add there experience, the more voices on the subject the better. :wq

I ordered laminated for security, nothing else, just thought should mention in case it is relevant.

I am sure they are helping you with noise reduction as you don't have the tyre noise coming in. For those of us who do - they are pointless. |

Road noise XC90
Volvo are aware of the problem, it is two fold: Inadequate insulation and a fault in the B post that transmits noise up to the side of your ear. On early MY16 with 20 inch alloys there was a very significant resonance at 70 mph on concrete motorway. I had an MY16 on 20 inch cross cut alloys. Changed the wheels to 21 inch inscription which could run with Pirelli noise cancelling tyres (foam strip inside tyre). This stopped the resonance but still too loud. Despite some very good endeavours from my Volvo dealer, I could not live with the car and PX'd for a new model Q7. It is much better on noise, ride and performance, if not as design aesthetically nice as the Volvo> I look forward to driving it, which sadly I did not with the XC90.

Just my 2C on this, I've done 200Km in my car since yesterday. Country, town, motorway (140kph) etc and I do not find any issue with road noise. I've come from a 2014 MY Audi A7 sports sedan on 20" rims also.
My XC90 is a T8 R-Design on 20" with Conti SUV tyres. it's an absolute dream to drive. |
