Carrying items on your car roof with tie down straps, surf straps, or a roof rack can create a large amount of noise when you drive at high speeds. You can reduce noise from straps by configuring them optimally.
Steps
- 1Place the item on the car and position the straps to guarantee the item doesn't slip.
- 2Twist each strap before you tighten the straps. This is the trick that reduces the noise. Tight straps without a twist are far more likely to vibrate and make loud noises at high speeds. By twisting the straps, you will reduce the sounds.
Twist the strap to reduce vibrations
- 3Check for safety and tension and drive.
