Question:

Expert Reply:
The Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack system is one of the quietest systems we offer for a vehicle. Every effort is made to keep these as quiet as possible with the aerodynamic design.
I recommend using a fairing on the roof rack like the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks, part # RRRF4. This 50 inch fairing is designed to reduce the wind noise and drag, and will work well with the Vortex system. This fairing has rubber bumpers that help prevent any abrasions or scratches to the roof of your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe.
