or crack the sunroof....Its simple...you are letting air in, but the car is airtight and the is nowhere for the air you are adding to go once the volume of the car is full...so it has to go out the same way it came in....causing the noise....if you give the air an exit...no noise....

I know having the windows rolled down while on the freeway isn't an everyday occurrence, but even when the back windows are down just 1/4 or more, the noise becomes unbearable. It produces this constant "PHOOOOOOM" almost like a deafening sonic-boom. It physically hurts the ears.
I've had a few previous cars and it was never to this degree.

That was also a stunning experience, as at first I thought a wasp or something flew into my shoulder.
One would think I have bad luck, but isn't getting pooped on by a bird actually considered good luck

And about th good luck part. I'm not to sure about how true it is. Or its just something someone made up so they didn't feel shame getting pooped on?!
