I have an Extang and have no noise issues, all of them that I have seen pull tight and don't make any noise. I work at a shop and have seen and driven many differnt ones.

I have the Truxedo Truxport and there isn’t any abnormal noise. It pulls tight and I have no complaints. It’s a nice cover for the price.

I have a Truxedo LoPro on my 04. No wind wind noise that i hear. The fact that there are no bows to take off and parts to get lost is a big bonus too. anyway if you do get a little just crank the tunes a bit more

I have an Access cover. I did lots of research before getting it, and it seems that they use the sturdiest construction. And no noise when driving, so I can hear my tunes without having to crank it up. Unless I want to of course

I have an access on my '99. Been on there for years without any problems whatsoever including noise. I also like the fact (like bigal721 stated) it simply rolls up and out of the way as needed. I give it

Yes, although I have occasionally a few areas that are damp (but I'm pretty sure it's from the bedrails that I have on).

No water... ever! Even with the hose aimed right at the seal!

Well, according to MythBusters... tonneau covers do nothing for fuel econ. Neither does removing the tailgate...

Who knows.
