I've noticed that if I am driving with all the interior window up and my child, who likes to play with things, rolls down the rear passenger window - that it creates some kind of harmonic thumping in the cabin caused by the incoming airflow.
I've experienced this to a lesser extent in other cars but with the Leaf, it's like somebody put subwoofers right next to my ears with a frequency of about 200BPM. It is actually painful to my ears and I fly and SCUBA dive quite a bit so I'm not particularly sensitive to this kind of thing. It's not a big deal because I can just crack any of the other windows and it seems to disrupt the airflow enough that the thumping goes away. However, I can immediately tell if a rear window is down because I feel it immediately and it hurts and is actually quite noisy. It only seems to happen if I'm going >35mph, which makes sense. I assume this is because of the Leaf's uber streamlined airflow on the outside.
Curious if anyone else has experienced this.
