Whispbar V Rhino Rack

[Northside Chic]

Hi Guys

I'm looking at getting roof racks for my car to carry a kayak. I have heard Rhino racks are quite good but they make a whistling noise in transit. Do the Whispbar roof racks eliminate the noise. Has anyone got either of these types of roof racks and which ones do you think are better?

Cheers

ive got the pro wisper bars on my hilux and i dont notice too much the noise, and i have a sunroof, so i would recomend the whisper pro racks, and supposivly they are the quitest on the market?

and the rhino and pro rack things like the kayak carriers ect. are interchangable for each rack.

I have had Whisbars (HDs) for 2 1/2 years now and they have been fantastic and as the name suggests whisper quiet.

I carry a Hobie Outback on them without any worries.

I have the rhino racks, they make a whistling/howling noise. I'd definitely go the whisper bars!

Based on your username (Northside Chic) I would give Roof Racks Galore @ Kedron a call. They're on Boothby Street and chances are they will be closer than Rocklea.

What Rhino Racks are you looking at? There are a couple of different shapes, including square bar and a more aerodynamic bar. I got a set of Rhino's Aerobars installed over the weekend. They seem pretty good so far, but I haven't been on the highway with them yet, only 70km/hr. Maybe others with the Aerobar could comment?

If anyone has issues with noise/whistling, I would suggest getting a role of good duct tape and covering any holes or slits. It's the same principle as blowing on a bottle, block up the hole and no more noise.
