| I read in few forums that roof rails make noise. I am looking to get roof rails without cross bars or any other attachement (2007 MDX)and I was wondering if anybody experienced any noise with addition of just roof rails. I would appreciate any info. |

Over the years I have had a number of vehicles with full roof racks: rails and cross bars. None of them, including my current 04 MDX have ever had a noise problem.

While I usually agree with G. Colton, my experience has been different:
While roof rails add a small amount of wind noise, cross bars are another story: They not only add wind noise, but reduce gas mileage, especially at speeds above 65 mph.
You will note that most BMW's, Audis and Mercedes SUV's and station wagons have roof rails but not cross bars.
