I'm experiencing this same issue in the '08 LR2 I just bought, however it doesn't seem to be a factor of any speed I travel, but rather if i turn my vents on any setting. HOWEVER, if I put the air on the re-circulation setting....the noise completely dissappears so long as it stays on recirculation.

Arrow Wind Noise is Real - Really from the Sunroof

Hello! I took my 2019 Disco for service. This is the 2nd go around w/the sunroof wind noise complaint. The first dealer, Paul Miller, Parsippany NJ said nothing could be done. The next time I needed service I took it to the point of purchase - Princeton JLR. They fixed the windshield leak issue (totally different thread, but annoying nevetheless), a malfuntioning key FOB ("Key Not Recognized") and the erstwhile malfunctioning radio/nav/everything display. Dealer said the windscreen leak was causing the wind noise from the sunroof. I said "no, it's not". They said "we'll see". Got an F-Pace 2.5T Premium loaner,. Interesting car/truck/etc. The sunroof still makes wind noise and did so on the way home just as I pulled out onto lovely Route 206 in Princeton. Emailed the dealer when I got home and I'm taking it back again. I will let you know.

***Meanwhile, our 2013 LR4 is chugging along w/149k miles and the only thing I've ever replaced on "the beast" was a fuel pump at about 140k miles and the water pump at about 144k miles with the belts.

You know I was wondering the same thing....maybe a pinhole leak might cause the noise...I just found a leak in my windshield while using a leaf blower to dry it. It normally and didn't ever leak before but using the leaf blower it did and hasn't since. I am now on the schedule to have the windshield replaced. I never did find the cause of the noise and even taped the entire sunroof seals and still the noise....

If I pull the sunroof down with my index finger the wind noise stops. Please don’t let anyone try to tell you that the sunroof wind noise is related to anything else. It is not. Either the sunroof seal needs to be replaced or the leading edge of the sunroof needs to be lowered just a few millimeters. Here’s a 2017 TSB, but I don’t think this is my issue - it would be nice if LR recognized this. https://testing-public.carmd.com/Tsb...4/LTB00610NAS3

Why would they issue a bulletin for a noise that occurs at speeds over 110mph?

I didn't mean to say you did not have the wind noise problem, but wondered why they would issue a bulletin for an event that occurs over 110mph.

I don't know why. I can update this post and add that Land Rover Princeton, NJ fixed the issue. There is no more wind noise. Legend has it, they adjusted the roof. It's whisper quite now. Thanks all, Happy New Year and fare well on your travels!
