I have a 2006 M35 Sport and since day one the radio/CD player and even blue tooth can be heard "clear as day" outside the car even when the volume is set low to medium on the interior.

It is really bad to the point I can not use blue tooth in town or a parking lot as EVERYONE can hear my conversation as they pass by my M.

I too have heard audio unusually clear on the outside of the car. I went into the grocery store while my wife remained in the car. Upon my return, I could clearly hear the movie she was watching... and all doors/windows were closed.

I guess Bose was really going for a surround sound

Hey there and Welcome to NICO! Glad to have you aboard

The 06+ M is my personal favorite Infiniti , this however is not uncommon. In my opinion it has to do with lack of insulation inside the doors. I think that Infiniti was trying to save weight where they can and by not using sound deadening material on the outside door shell it actually acts like a ported box and amplifies sound frequencies.

I do not know of a factory fix. If it bothers you enough you may want to think of getting something like Dyna-Mat on the inside of the doors. It may also improve sound quality inside the car.

Have any other owners found a solution to this issue?
