Maybe you have a moment, a window cradle, and can take some readings just because you are curious how well you did with your install. Please don't do this during rush hour, maybe if you are on a road trip or out of traffic 
I thought if I started this thread then people might also remember to check some readings before and after. I added my old moon roof wind visor readings below.
Why:
Don't you want to know how your install compares and how well you did?
I have now decided I am going to try and make my ridge more soundproof. I can't have a conversation over bluetooth above 50 mph vs my wife's car. As a valet in college I can tell you there really is a difference between Honda's and luxury cars, but the ridge is not too bad and by no means a tin can however if you have been in a "luxury's vacuum" you know what I am talking about; it's like sitting at the pool on vacation
So I started looking into options, reading posts, etc. On that note, how would I know what really works best materials, locations, not missing something while the interior is out, etc, unless there was some testing done on our trucks, at the least knowing some numbers might get me an idea of what I would want, in the end I think I will have to "overbuild" though and use as many options as possible.
But for those that have done it already, it will be hard to correlate my readings with yours. Phone, app, and driving conditions would matter, but maybe we can find people with similar phones (Samsung or iphone). use 70 mph as a general number, on a cement freeway, and look for the highest db and average numbers.
However if there was a big enough database of user input we could possibly get some useful information on things we have done for comparison. Maybe we can put all our sound issues in one place so people have ideas like the window sail trims, roof rack tabs not against the window seal, etc. I hope for this because I have spent 3 hours reading and have only read through a few full threads.
Phone used:
Type of materials used:
or fix done
locations installed:
type of road if not a cement freeway:
before if possible - db:
after - db:
I have a LG G3 but my Note 2 would probably have a similar microphone to most Samsung smartphones. I can also get a friend's Iphone and Samsung s5 to compare against my phones so we have an idea of how the microphones differ if much at all
For android lets use Sound Meter just bc that's the app used for the readings I started on earlier.
Note: 10db is twice as loud, well that's what my research has found.
