Rugged Ridge light bar with lights... wind noise?
 

Thinking on getting the RR light bar and mounting 5 Hella 500's. I'm curious one how much wind noise this will create at 60 mph, I live in Canada so I run with my hard top 90% of the time.
People with this set-up, please fill me in.

I have this exact set-up except with a soft top. I don't really notice the noise until I hit about 60 or so and then by 75 you quit noticing it. I run my radio (stock with stock speakers) at about 20-25 volume on the interstate when I'm by myself and can hear fine. When I am with a passenger I turn it down and you have to talk a little louder but I wouldn't say it is yelling.

With the top off, the wind is so crazy you can't even tell. When I take the covers off the lights I can hear a slight whistle starting around 35 mph and ending near 50 or 55 with the top down.

With a hard top I would venture to guess you would rarely hear any of these. I love this setup because it is a very cost efficient way to get a ton of light!

I have it with 5 Rigid Dually's D2s ... (which I highly recommend over the Hella's)...

I noticed the wind noise the first time I road with them. On the highway with the radio off it will sound like a normal day with a blast of wind going by (think like, you're parked at get hit by a 30mph gust)...

If you turn the radio up to background noise level (say, like, 10) you won't hear it at all.

It's not really a factor for me.
