Other way around. When the air is being flowed through from the outside, it is louder. When it is circulating within the cabin, it is quieter.

Or in some cars, its deafening or slightly tolerable

it is definately louder inside the cabin when the fan is on circulating.. not coming in from outside.. checked it on the m4 on the way to work with the roof up

A hole that needs to be cut in the firewall. That is a high pressure area at speed so in theory as well as cooler air from outside the engine bay you will also be getting a bit of forced induction.

it catches air at the high pressure point of the windshield and sucks cool air down the carboin firbe tube into the pod.. at first i was sceptical saying \"its facing the wrong way\" after getting it installed.. now i understand... proof is the sound from inside the car
