If it is similar to the 2020 Skoda Superb, the main problems will probably be the rubber door seals, the B pillar and the door, either in combination or all 3. From the easiest remedy to the most extreme or challenging: 1) Make sure your door rubber seals are functioning well with no kinks that allow wind noise in. (May also want to try Rubber protectant by sonax?) 2) Add noise insulation rubber seals, easily available and easily stuck on your pre-existing door rubber seals. (ebay, aliexpress) 3) The B pillar has a huge hollow space there that echoes road noise upwards towards the driver's ears. Difficult: Sound deadening (sticking dynamat sound deadener or similar material on the thin metal surfaces of the pillar), sound insulation and sound absorption will help. This involves opening up the B Pillar if you DIY! 4) Do the same for the door. A PITA to open the door frame etc. It will however, give an even more premium thud sound when you close the door.

My first post here. I have to say that the 21 pages of knowledge and wisdom accumulated here is astounding. I did a few mods that some may find a little extreme. ST XA coilovers (I had a good deal for new ones), 245/40 R19 Conti Sport Contact 7 tyres and Racechip GTS to name a few. All these led to levels of NVH that are honestly quite bad, esp on rough roads. Now that I have expended all my budget on the above mods, I went on to DIY sound deaden/proof my FL 2020 Superb. Following the advice here, I have done: 1) Bonnet (2 layers) 2) Boot (2 layers) 3) B Pillar 4) Outside Wheel Arches/Fenders (2 layers) 5) Front Floor (partial 2 layers. i didn't want to take out the console or front seats) 6) Driver's Door (2 Layers) About to do the other doors, wheel arch inside, roof lining and probably seat bench. I can say (according to my butt dyno) that the car has about the similar comfort levels as my old(er) 2013 Audi A4, plus higher performance and a whole lot more boot space. Yes, even with coilovers, it's amazingly comfortable at factory settings. I'm stunned! I had never imagined that the sound deadening would actually settle the vibrations and road feel. Can't wait to do the rest!
