Question Wind Air Noise Through the Vents ?

Hello everyone, I already post this on another forum but want to know if anybody here knows anything about this. The problem (?) I don't know if this is normal or not, but whenever at highway speed, we always hear the noise of the wind try to come through the air vent when the recirculate button is on, with it at the off, no noise. Is this normal or do I have to fix this ? It seem like the thing that close the air in didn't close properly and allow a tiny bit of air in therefor the noise is hear...

When in Recirc Mode, it is normal to have more noise than in Fresh Air Mode. It is not outside air trying to push thru the vents.

Basically, it's taking the inside air from the cabin and recirculating it through the vents. You'll hear the noise more because the fan is working more to move the air.

Ok thanks guys, I guess the inside is too quiet lol, compare to my old 2002 Odyssey (much noisier) so that why I can hear the whistling sound of the wind...
