I bought an aveo for my daughter and we are experiencing the same noise problem (great car except for noise problem), we noticed that it only was happening during high winds (crosswinds as well as head winds) and when we drove at highway speeds (60-70 mph). We took it back to dealer and fortunately it was windy when they drove it because they heard the noise, what they did for us was to tighten up doors to seal out wind noise - this helped immensely but it did not get rid of all the noise interference. They believed the remaining noise was being caused by the antanne cutting thru the air. Even though this noise happens less frequently and is not nearly as loud it was it is still a nuisance. Dealer said we could install a retractable antanne so it could be lowered during driving but they want us to have it installed and that is where we are at this point, I haven't argued the point because the noise problem doesn't happen very often any more so we kind of forget about when we have time to go by dealer and argue for a different antanne. At this point we are waiting for input as to how to remedy this problem without paying to have a different antanne installed. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for replying to my Message, I live in Michigan and we don't very often get high winds like that, it was the loudest near Indiana, the winds were really bad, but I haven't heard it since that weekend, our Chevy Dealer is know for not working very good with the public, I had bought a different car from them in the past and swore to near deal with them again, but I did buy the Aveo, the car is nice and roomy, and I do like it, i am hoping the sound does happen again so that they are willing to fix it, I am still going to call more Chevy dealers in my area to see what they say. Do you mind if I ask where your from? Like I said I am in Michigan. Rereading your message, we were driving on the freeways also, going between 60-70 mph. My dealership didn't even take the car for a drive. On your car, does the sound seem to come from around the tire area? Or from the front of the car? I know its hard to pin point exactly where the sound came from. Thank you so much!

A retractable antenna? You must have a sedan?? I know the one on my roof cant possibly be retractable! But if it is down...you will not get any reception. That will be a long ride! Unless you have satelllite radio like me. GO SIRIS!

Srius rocks. I installed a kenwood after market radio in my Aveo 5 with Srius. I love the car and sound!

problems with engine gasket at 7000 miles blew oil on driveway but fortunately covered by warranty. pinhead size crack at base of passendger side windshield is now footlong size crack quickly spreading. think it's a design or installation defect, or even an aerodynamic design flaw for such as small rock to hit there. windhsield wipers very noisy even with $25 per blade ones installed. heater seems to be having problems.. windshield not covered by warranty.

After market windshields for some reason are always better.

Well, you are one of the very rare ones. A lot of people hate the huge front grill on the American Aveo. However, I have report that the front license will be in the center of the huge grill making the front look much better.

I hope you replaced the windshield by now. BUT most insurance companies will replace it for FREE. It is a safety issue. IF it gets big enough, it could blow in on you as you drive, thus it is a BIG safety issue. I have State Farm insurance. God knows it costs enough to ensure even this little car. BUT I have had 4 cracked windshields on 4 different cars/trucks, from pebbles hitting it, and the crack gets bigger and longer. They replace it for free. No deductable either,....at least in Fla. it is considered a safety issue, so they must replace it for free! I think it is a state law. Do you have that in your policy or in your state? And I dont have to wait for a long crack to develop. Just a tiny pinhole hit, and I can get it replaced. Those things cost like $300 or more...dont they?
