Could not believe how quiet the Cherokee is. Makes the 9-speaker plus amp worth the cost. Came from a 2005 Honda CR-V that was so noisy I could only listen to news radio. My pickup has aggressive M&S tires so that's no recording studio either. In this video (

) they show some of the efforts FCA went to with sound deadening and isoaltion materials.

 

@2Jeeps1cup what app is that?

 

I searched decibel meter from the app store and found "sound meter" right at the top

 

Be careful when using any app to measure cabin noise, not all apps are created equal /https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2014/04/09/sound-apps/, and supposedly Android based apps are not as good as iOS apps. The one from Smart Tools is my favorite and I've tested it next to my professional sound level meter, it's usually within several decibels.

That same govt lab that evaluated the apps in the blog above, created an iOS app, supposed to work as well as a type 1 SLM. https://twitter.com/NIOSHNoise/status/822174014063972357

 

I agree that the KL is one of the quietest vehicles I have driven. We have friends that have a Highlander that is pretty quit as well but I think the KL wins.

 

Its no car but as far as any of the previous 3 jeeps I have had its Quiet. I think the All season tires on this Limited have a little to do with it. The other 3 Jeeps all had AT type tires, which got a little noisier as time went on it seemed.

 

I agree on the quiet part. I'm crazy about the whole thing, but the quiet is one of the most amazing. For the suv style it's quieter than most sedans. Sort of erie quiet. I've also noticed that if I roll the front window down in nice weather that there is almost no wind noise like most vehicles have.

 

Have any of you with the quiet cabins notice any rattling noises like some have noticed on another thread?

 

Now that my squeak is gone (loose roof rack, driver's side rear), all I hear is my tires, unless I'm blasting my tunes!

 

To me, the KL is very quiet. I thought I heard a rattle once, until I noticed it was just the sunglasses up in the sunglass holder...no cause for alarm.

 

/\ Same here.

Quietly gloating to self about the silence after 2 years of ownership and then it happened: rattle, rattle, rattle. Rats! Opened and closed the driver's door and no doubt the rattle was in the door. Then noticed the water bottle I left in the bottle holder in the door panel. :blush:

 

Jeep card rescinded, turn in your fob at the HQ in Auburn Hills and take the complementary KIA in the parking lot, >.

 

my KL was very quiet inside...until i put Hankook Dynapro tires on and a roof basket with a light bar mounted to it. that made it worse for sure!
