Default Excessive sound from the outside new A7

Does anyone else experience excessive wind sounds when driving even at low speeds, and when it's raining a sizzling sound from outside. I feel as if my windows/door are not properly blocking the outside sound properly or is this just common with the A7. Please let me know as if this isn't a common issue and what solutions there are to fixing the problem. Thanks!

No, this definitely isn't a common issue. The solution is to identify the source of sound penetration and remedy the problem. It can be a door alignment issue or a defective (worn, folded or torn) window gasket.

Would I be able to just take the car to a Audi dealership so they can uncover the problem or is this problem something they do not associate themselves with?

Of course you can. Audi service centers are there to repair any issue that may arise with the vehicles. While not all service centers are equal in experience and capability, they do have access to all technical information as well as original parts when needed.

Check to be sure the windows are properly working when you close the door. The Windows go down about a quarter of an inch when you open the door, then close when you close the door. I would think you would know though because water would come in.

Sometimes the Windows need to be adjusted.
