A lot of the wind noise  comes from the cabin door seal. In flight run a rag around the door perimeter for noise change. To seal the door I use weather strip (see bag). Last five years with no air or water leaks. The problem with inflatable seals is water leaks when on the ramp and raining.

While in flight press your open hand over the glare shield and listen for noise changes. Noise from the glare shield is due to the shield vibrating against its holding perimeter frame. Press your hand around the perimeter to locate the loose area. I use the same weather strip on the glare shield to tighten the fit on it. Works really well.

Vibrating side panel noise can also be attenuated by placing the same weather strip between the panel and the tubular structure.

For ultimate noise reduction I use these rubber ear plugs together with my headsets

10 times better than Bose ANR and you can hear the radio.

Jose,

Do you put the weatherstrip on top of the rubber door seal that's already there?

Also, do you use this on the baggage door also?

Thanks,

Lance

Sorry to hear that. Dennis was a good man.

I had a pressurized mag go bad on a '97 Bravo back in '99 on a trip to Georgia and Dennis overnighted me the part and sold it to me for what he would have charged another dealer. I never forgot that. As long as Lone Star Mooney was open I used to have Dennis work on my Mooney. He was always fair.
