How quiet is the 2026 CT?

[Djinndjinn]

I have a Foundation series (vin 28xxx) and it has always been very noisy (wind noise). Tried gaskets and sealers and service center trips (‘it’s within specs’) to no avail. Not optimistic about noise cancelling feature doing anything.

for anyone who has gotten a recent 2026, how quiet or noisy is the ride - especially if you have a qualitative comparison to an earlier FS that’s noisy (apparently not all are). trying to decide whether or not to trade in for new one. Thanks!

I traded my 8000ish VIN for a 2026. The 26 is rattle free and quiet. I didn’t have much issue with wind noise but my center console and rear seat were rather rattly. The 26 is very quiet

Got my 925xx VIN with 03-26 build date. Only a day with it but lots of driving over various surfaces and it’s dead quiet.

I currently have a relatively early vin (<7000) 2024 FS awd loaner. I think its truck by truck because the one i had(~20k) was not nearly as loud and squeaky as this one is. My 2025 (~60k) is quieter than both.

both have that wissssssssshhhhhhh sound when its cold out from the front end, both have vibration from the floor panel over the subwoofers.

Congratulations

Ya, I got the VIN on Monday. I’m in Texas, so there’s a chance it was literally built last week.

I have VIN 9798 and after I had them tweak the right front door alignment my CT is about as quiet (or better) than any car I have owned, including 2 Lexus RXs.

How quiet is the 2026 Cybertruck?
It's about as quiet as a mouse peeing on a cotton ball.
You're welcome.

Well, that’s a disturbing image I now can never get out of my head. Thanks.

Curious what issue you had and what type of alignment did they do?

I suspect a lot of cabin noise issue has to do with the windows not sitting flush or seated properly. I tried to get my service center to fix it but they made it worse than before . They essentially said they can’t and won’t do anything else.

I can only hope that the trauma I've caused will eventually wear off and you can resume your "normal" life.

I assume it's as quiet as a 2025 which is incredibly quiet for a truck.

I have a 2026 CB…

Not the quietest truck in the world, mainly the windscreen wiper makes some noise above 30mph.

Truck is sadly almost 100% FWD so the front AT tires make lots of noise when accelerating on concrete.

Other than that its pretty reasonable A pillar rattle but fixed easily.
