Avery Slickride

I thought I was in for big noise problems the first week after I picked up my X-Trail. There's a road with very pronounced expansion joints on the way to my fish camp, and every time I took that road the dash would chirp like a chorus of crickets. Just on that road, nowhere else. But it was the coldest week of the winter, -30 or worse all week. Since then, the weather has returned to normal, and the car is as silent as the tomb. If it gets extremely cold again, I'll put on earmuffs, crank up the radio, or avoid that road.
