Aerodynamic shape crossbars make no noise!!!
I have my jetstream bar "50" set up with the yakima basline towers and a cargo basket mounted on top. I drove my car at 80 mph and surprised how little windnoise I got. Im very satisfied with the outcome of the product. Sturdy fit on my vehicle.Everyones opinion might vary depending what vehicle you drive. On my 2014 Dodge Avenger it worked out pleasant!!
