Morning!

I just took delivery of a 2024 Yukon Denali about 2 weeks ago. Now, I came out of a Bronco so road noise was a given. That said, I want to make sure I'm not crazy. I feel like for the money (despite it being a full size body on frame brick) that there is too much road noise. I have fixed running boards and i feel like the majority of the noise is coming from the lower section of the truck. It could also be the Bridgestone tires.

I have had a multitude of GM trucks and i feel like they were all quieter. Gaps look good, weather strips are good. I am also unfairly comparing it to my wife's GLE which is an egg but it is dead quiet inside.

Dealer says "its normal. these aren't really quiet trucks."

I love it otherwise. So tell me I'm crazy and it's normal. PFA

Thanks!

Heavy vehicle with aggressive tread tires do make a lot of noise. I also like the Michelin tires.

Thanks! I'm debating changing the wheels/tires in the spring anyway...maybe I'll just accelerate.

Did you experience a ton of noise prior?
Compared to the factory ones yes, but i have had three Yukon's and always run those tires.

Mine is as quite as expected for a Denali trim package. Quieter than my 2021 Navigator and mu wife's Genesis GV70.
Mine is very quiet, unless I am on a concrete road with grooves perpendicular to the direction of travel, then the Bridgestones sing like a choir.

That said, it is the quietest vehicle I have ever owned.

the car is quiet but I have to think it's the tires. Just like i said, my wife's GLE is much more serene inside...it's also not a giant rolling brick.

since 2015 the metal is thinner, road noise comes thru a lot more.
grab some cheap audio sound deadening, prices vary a lot on amazon, you don't need a brand name, nobody's pulling up your carpet to look
add as much coverage as you can under the carpet and around the wheel wells in the rear body and inside the doors, it will make a TON of difference, the stuff is just peel and stick.
