issue Bad Wind Noise

Normy14 · December 29, 2013

Don't get me wrong I love this truck!

I also have a (rebuilding )1971 Gmc,2008 gmc and my 2014 Gmc

Just looking for a little help to get me through this hiccup ..

Mine is quiet with the heat fan motor shutoff, but turn it on and I get wind noise from the driver door window leaking. It gets louder with the speed of the heater fan, I'm 60 years old and have had 6 or 7 new vehicles over the years and never had a window air leak like this Silverado. In fact I've been driving big trucks down the highway for about 36 years and I can't remember any of the trucks I've driven down the road, over the years having a wind leak like this truck.

that being said, it is annoying and noisy and I know what I hear. DO YOU

I love how quiet my truck is. I get in my wife's 07 Tahoe and think there's something wrong with it because of how loud it is compared to the Silverado. However, I have experienced the noise you refer to at the top of my drivers door. It's occurred two times, very briefly while at freeway speed and with an extremely strong (35-45mph) cross wind. I didn't think too much of it because of the extreme wind conditions. My 2012 Tacoma was worse in these types of conditions and almost every car I've ever driven had had some sort of unexpected noise while driving in extreme wind.

I know what you are saying. My wife has a 2013 Odyssey that we thought was very quiet. Above average, actually, compared to most other vehicles. That is, until I got the Silverado. The truck makes anything else seem noisier than it really is.

Planted bad reviews thread link? I guess the fanboy in you can't accept some of the new 2014 are not built well and that people are having problems? That's why you linked it?

I've been here for a while. NO brand builds a perfect truck! EVEN GM!

My truck super quiet. In fact, it is more quiet than my wife's Lincoln MKX at highway speeds. I had to drive a 2014 Lacrosse while the bed liner was getting put in my truck, I think the truck is every bit as quiet as the Buick. Very surprising!

I to have noticed a little bit of wind noise at the top of both doors depending on the crosswind. I am just a new member of this forum but have owned many new Sierra Z71s. My last was a 2008 that I never had a single problem or complaint with. That truck was perfect in every way. I traded it with only 100000 Kms on it because I needed to treat myself to the new Sierra. I do love this new truck so far but a few little problems are starting to surface. I did a lot of research before buying and thought if my 08 was that good, this one would be better. Not sure about that. Only have 1300 kms on it right now. Hopefully all will be good.

I also noticed significant wind noise while traveling at highway speeds in a strong cross wind. I reached up and squeezed the top of the door frame and the noise was reduced quite a bit. I'm a bit put out by this development since the rest of the truck is great but the wind noise was very loud and you could feel the air really coming in. I have not taken it to the dealer yet...wondering how may others are having this issue and if there is a fix?

As soon as I hit 65 MPH I get this loud wind noise coming from the vent. Happans whether the fan is on or not. Really annoying. At lower speed the truck is very quiet. I'll let dealer know at first service, may be they will have a handle on it by then.

Up date

Took my truck to the dealer, they replace the weather stripping again.

Tried it out no better?

They made another adjustment to the weather stripping, made it more positive .which is short is adding some extra material in behind the weather stripping to bring it out further.

Which I was not in favor of on a new truck but not other options.

They added the extra material a bit better but still very noticeable.

I guess I go back again,

Stay tuned!

This appears to be more of a workmanship issue than a design issue. Seems like the workmanship is hit and miss with these trucks, some having no problems, some being a disappointment to the owner. Check your weatherstripping carefully and make sure it is fully seated in the channel.

Open the door put the window down, put your knee in the center of the door ,grab the window frame and give a couple of tugs inward. this worked for me. No more noise

So, what did you do, bend the door inward?
