I own a '01 Olds Aurora V8. At 70 MPH it makes a strange wind noise: how can I get rid of the noise?
I realized the noise was wind related when travelling on I-95 while behind a truck: as I drafted the truck, the noise stopped. But when I pulled along side the truck, the noise started again. Another time I was on a highway travelling below 70 mph but there were strong cross-winds. The noise appeared again - comfirming that it was wind related. I like my Aurora but this noise is very intrusive in the cabin and ruins an otherwise smooth ride. Any help here would be appreciated.

try putting a bra on the car they usually deflect the air more which should fix your problem. you could do some experimenting with some black tape (it peels off easiest) taping different things till you find the "squeeler" also pay close attention to the door seals near thew hinges, sometimes they are glued just alittle wrong...here again you use tape to check...good luck
2 :
don't go 70 do the speed limit
3 :
Buy an Infiniti G35
4 :
sell
5 :
slow down
6 :
Get some masking tape and tape off things like door mirrors .Because it was a side wind noise , tape around your side windows.It sounds as if your door and or window seals are leaking allowing air into the vehicle hence the noise.Hope this helps Mike in the job since the earth was young.

The Arorora can rarely be seen in mid-Latitude areas like Illinois. It does happen, just not often. Your best bet is to travel closer to the poles in order to see it

Auroras, sometimes called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae (singular: aurora), are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar regions. They typically occur in the ionosphere. They are also referred to as polar auroras. In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.[1] The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the sky from the Northern Hemisphere, the chance of visibility increasing with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole, which is currently in the arctic islands of northern Canada. Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from further away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree people call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits." Auroras can be spotted throughout the world. It is most visible closer to the poles due to the longer periods of darkness and the magnetic field.

Yes the aurora borealis can be seen from Illinois as well as north Dakota and Wyoming. The best place in the USA to see the nothern lights however is in Alaska. Outside of Alaska, the best places in the USA to see the northern lights are in the northernmost states along the Canadian border, and Both the odds and the intensity of the aurora decrease as you go south. There is a website http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/ which tells you when and where the aurora borealis is best seen and what it's intensity will be

If you get any night during those times, yes there is a chance of seeing it. You are certainly far enough North to see it. However there are no guarantees depending on the Sun's activity. You should check out this link, which will give you a heads-up on any predicted auroral activity. http://www.spaceweather.com/
2 :
Brief answer: Maybe. There are three things (other than clouds) that determine your ability to see the aurora: 1) Solar activity. The sun has been exceptionally quiet for the last year. (We should be climbing out of solar minimum now, but it hasn't happened yet.) 2) Your location relative to the magnetic poles of the earth. Yellowknife should be a great location. 3) Sky darkness. On August 1, the sky never gets fully dark at night at Yellowknife. The darkest time of night is 1:44 AM MDT, when the sun is 9.6 degrees below the horizon. Although the sky is not fully dark, I think it should be dark enough to see the aurora if present (although perhaps not the very faintest aurora). The best time to look will be when the sky is nearly as dark as it gets, and this happens from about 12:55 AM to 2:35 AM, when the sun is at least 9 degrees below the horizon. (For bright aurorae, you can expand this interval by 1 or 1.5 hours on either end.) Here are two links I like: http://www.spacew.com/www/aurora.php Look over the whole web page. It includes a map that "estimates the VISIBILITY of auroral activity from any location in the northern hemisphere." Right now, all of northern Canada lies within a faint green area. (Green represents a level of activity from nil to low.) http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html Shows the "Kp index." The site mentions that levels of 5 or greater "indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity." The bigger, the better. If you have access to the internet at Yellowknife, you can track this index. Finally, of course, a bright moon can interfere. The moon is full on August 5, and will wash out the sky on this and surrounding days; this will make it more difficult to view the aurora unless it's very bright. You might bring a table of moonrise/moonset times so you know when the moon is up. You can produce one here: http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-year-us Yellowknife has these coordinates: latitude: 62° 27' north longitude: 114° 22' west time zone: mountain daylight time (UT-6, or 6 hours west)

As of now, there is none - but it's already on the works. When the Umiray Hydroelectric Project has been completed, a road will also be built from Dona Remedios Trinidad straight to Dingalan - it is envisioned to be sort of a mini-Singapore or mini-Hong Kong. Currently, all motorists have to pass through San Miguel, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija to go to Aurora Province - and it takes 7 hours (Dingalan) or 6 hours (Baler).

You have to go to Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. This is the turn off point that leads to Dingalan, onwards to Aurora Province.

About When do the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) most vividly and frequently occur
When do the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) most vividly and frequently occur?
I'm planning a trip to northern Canada and Alaska and one of the things I'd most like to see are the northern lights. However, I can't seem to find any solid info on a time of year when they are most likely to be seen or when they would be the most vivid. What would the best time of year to travel to Alaska/Canada to see them?

They would be most vivid during an electromagnetic storm on the sun. Also, you would have to go in the winter during the long nights there, the aurora usually is poorly visible in the day
2 :
Northern (ans southern) lights are caused by storms on the sun sending charges particles of matter through space. When they hit the earth's Magnetic Field the cause a "glow". The Northern Lights are NOT seasonal, and can occur at any time of the year, and are pretty much unpredictable, UNLESS you know someone who "watches" the sun. like an astrophysicist. SOMETIME they can tell when the sun is going to "erupt", and possibly predict northern lights. So, no one can tell you "what time of year" is best to see them -- because they don't work that way.

4 :
The lights are always there, just not visible during daylight. Which rules out the summertime. Fairbanks is the best place to catch them because it's usually over Fairbanks a greater percentage of the time (the band moves) See this link for "solid info"
5 :
The aurora is formed when charged particles (electrons and protons) are guided by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere near the poles. When these particles collide with atoms and molecules of the upper atmosphere, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, some of the energy in these collisions is transformed into the visible light that characterizes the aurora. When there is a disturbance on the sun, such as a solar flare or coronal mass ejection, it can produce a disturbance in the solar wind. This in turn will cause a disturbance in the balance between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field. As a result, electrons and protons are accelerated within the magnetosphere. WHEN DO THEY OCCUR? The aurora is a near daily occurrence somewhere on Earth and there is almost always an aurora in the sky (both day and night, but in the daytime it is out-shined by sunlight). However, the following factors can increase your chance of seeing them: Time of Day: Because the intensity of the light in an aurora is low, it can only be seen at night. Furthermore, the most active and brilliant displays usually occur near midnight. Therefore, the best time to observe the aurora is, on average, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Season: In the northern hemisphere, the best time to view an aurora is during the winter. At latitudes where auroras are common, it is typically light all night in the summer—so you rarely have warm weather and a good aurora. Furthermore, in most polar regions, the weather tends to be clear during the middle of winter—so often the best time to see an aurora is also the coldest. Sun Rotation: It takes the sun 27 days to rotate one time around its axis, so 27 days after an aurora display, the active region on the sun that caused the aurora will face Earth again. Although solar activity in that region on the sun might have decreased in the mean time, there is still a greater chance of aurora 27 days after the last period of increased auroral activity. Solar Activity: Auroral activity also correlates with the activity of the sun, which changes according to an 11-year solar cycle. In general, the more active the sun, the greater the number of auroras. Thus, auroral displays are more likely around the time of the solar maximum (when solar activity is high). Aurora displays remain frequent and strong for several years around solar maximum. During solar maximum, the auroras are not only more frequent and more active, but they also can come further south away from the poles (it should be noted, however, that bright and active auroras can be observed at any time during the solar cycle). Weather, the full moon, and light pollution also affect your ability to see aurora. Your best bet for seeing aurora is to get as close as you can to the position of the auroral oval, and as far away as you can from sources of artificial light and overcast skies. Tips on viewing the aurora can be found at NOAA's Space Environment Center.
