Any windshield header 50" LED light bar mounts that don't make a ton of noise?
I see lots of 50" lightbars and hear lots of people complaining about the noise from both the light bar itself and the mounts. Does anyone have a light bar mount that doesn't make a ton of noise?
Thanks! |
Noise comes form the cooling fins, you can breakup the air flow with a piece of door trim insulation type stuff and it kills the noise.

^ Exactly what he said. I have the JCR mounts which are lower than any other mount out there i've seen. I was not getting any noise until I hit 60 MPH, but when it started, I would get a headache. I put 1/4 irrigation tubing between the fins every couple inches, problem solved.

Interesting. I know about the noise from the fins and how to quiet it down but I've seen many complaints about noise from the mounts themselves. I'd like to go with the Rough Country mount due to the price and reported decent quality and fit but have read lots of comments about noise from them.
I've heard good and bad about the JCR mounts (lead time, finish issues and fit issues mainly). I'd hate to get it mounted up and be driven crazy by noise (not that my Jeep isn't noisy enough as it is). |
I don't get much noise with my rock slide engineering mounts. I have the bar slightly turned down a bit and it keeps the whistling to minimum and the noise isn't bad at all. There will always be wind noise, but these mounts are low and keep the bar close to the windshield.

How's the glare with the Rock-Slide mount position?

Don't mean to hijack, but has anyone done a write up on how to wire the LED light bar? I'm plenty mechanical, right up until it becomes electrical.

I just ran a couple beads of caulk down a few of the cooling fans and mine makes hardly any noise

Mount does have something to do with noise as well as position/angle of the bar itself. On one Jeep I have the Poison Spyder bracket, another a Crawler Conceptz one, buddy of mine has the Rough Country, 50" ENGO bars on each. Both of my JK's are uber quiet as for noise off the bar. His is ungodly loud. The RC mount situated the bar much higher and farther from the windshield than either the PSC or CC mounts do.

The best and easiest solution I've found for 100% noise cancellation is Frost King replacement door seals. They are cheap, plug right into the veins on the back of the light bar and stay put.
I have 2 rows, and zero noise with the top on or off. Frost King E/O 1 in. x 7 ft. Brown Replacement Foam Kerf Door Seal-DS7B/25 - The Home Depot |
