I get a wind noise on the drivers door. Seems like it is around the windshield post and where the door meets. It almost seems like it turns into something rattling.It does not do it all the time.yesterday I drove 60 miles and no noise. Today it's making the noise. I checked the mirror and door seals and been trying to figure it out for a week.this one has me puzzled. Maybe it is inside the door.Today I made an appointment to take it in.not very confident with shop as yesterday they said they could not hear my axle jingling away as we drove down the road.

SOURCE OF NOISE FOUND!!!    After many failed attempts, and with hope of finding the source of the rattle on my own diminishing, I decided to get some help from my dad to drive my truck so I

I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ with the same problem. Fortunately the service techs heard it too. However, without an existing bulletin on the specific problem, they are going to have to take the door panel off. It's like having a family member undergoing major surgery.  I'll post the resolution if they find it.

Thank you. I drove 180 miles the other day and it did not make the Noise at all.it was not very windy out however and I'm not confident that it has just gone away and won't be back. I do believe it has to be inside the door. Thanks for keeping me posted.

My noise ended up being the plastic duct work behind the drivers side instrument panel going to the vent on the dash.when you were at a higher speed it would rattle on top of the metal bar that is part of the dash assembly. I placed burly seal between the duct and bar. I found the problem on this forum so it has been a issue with other trucks.

Thanks for the update. Was it a rattle noise or a loud howling? I have an AT4 6.2 with 1500 miles on it and for the first time over the weekend heard this very loud howling noise that came and went when I was driving about 75 mph in strong crosswind.  So loud my wife and I went WTF.

I have a 2020 Silverado with the same noise problem when driving 70/75 mph and a high crosswind. Seems to be coming around the side mirrors. If i pull the side  mirrors in, the howling stops. Side mirrors out, howling starts. Noise is not constant, but very irritating.

2020 Crew Cab—Same problem; mostly on the passenger side, but sometimes on the driver side. Nearly constant at 85 pushing headwinds or crosswinds. So loud it drowns out the stereo. Wife’s first 500 mile trip in the truck with me yesterday......she was not impressed, to say the least.

I will try the mirrors in idea....sounds like it might be a temp fix, but being a “side mirror” driver, I need to find another fix. Thanks

One purpose of moving the mirrors from the old position in front of the glass down to the door shell was to eliminate this noise. Seems like it is airflow through the gap in the mirror pivot that is making the noise no mater where the mirror is mounted. Try putting a piece of tape over the front of the gap and see if the noise disappears.

 

So much for that engineering marvel that moved the blind spot created by the mirror to a different location, but did not cure the root cause of the problem. 

 

Mine is noticeable on the drivers side, but not so bad that I have worried about a permanent solution.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

2021 Crew cab, load wind noise (sudden roaring noise then gone). In the body shop now. There is a strip of felt between the rear ends of the front fenders in the cavity behind the driver and passenger doors hinges. It is loose and twisted some all along the edges on the drivers side. All sealed on the passengers side. They say that most likely the problem.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      Pretty much zero rust on the truck, the frame is super clean. Non-snowy area of California for its whole life. They didn't mention JB weld specifically, just a silicone style seal.

      Needs a manifold gauge hooked up and the pressures read.   If you don't have one, time to take it to a shop and have it diagnosed.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By newdude · Posted

      How rusty is the truck?     The transfer cases on these are an aluminum case.  If its anything like the rear diffs on the 2015-2022 Chevy Trax, those will corrode bad to the point it will push fluid through the housing via corrosion porosity or a crack from age/stress.    We have seen folks over tighten the drain and fill plugs on these transfer cases and crack them that way as well.    So I'd say its a 50/50 shot on re-sealing the case.  If all of the surfaces are good and its not badly corroded, they probably can re-seal it.  GM uses RTV to seal the case halves.   If they mention JB Weld, the issue is the case.  Be it a crack or corrosion.  JB Weld "might" hold if they clean EVERYTHING very well and drain the fluid out of the case and clean the crack and then seal it.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      A while back, my truck (2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3) went in for an o2 sensor and routine service. The tech identified that my rear output seal on my transfer case was leaking, and recommended I have them replace it. At the time I didn't think anything of it, and had them do the repair. Less than a month later, I noticed that the recently repaired seal was leaking again. I called the shop that did the repair and they warrantied the repair and replaced the same seal again. A few months later, I noticed that once again the same seal leak had come back. It wasn't a great time to bring it in and I ended up just living with it for 6 months or so, noticing small (smaller than a baseball) size oil stains below the truck when it would sit for a while, as well as oil spray on the frame (to the point where it actually took the underbody coating off in that one spot). Finally got around to brining it in again, but this time I took it to a dealership service center since I am in a different part of the state for school. They identified the same output seal leaks and recommended they replace them. They also said there was no scoring on the inside of the transfer case, so it didn't need to be replaced. They chalked up the original repair failures to non oem seals and a job that wasn't done correctly. Now they called and said the seals are holding after driving/sitting for a while, but they found a very small leak in the middle, that they recommended they seal with some kind of silicone/jb weld (not sure what they are using). I haven't picked up the truck yet, but I have been reluctant about this whole repair process because I feel like they are just fixing the same thing that keeps coming back, and I am concerned there could be another root cause for the seal failing. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, or have any ideas on other things that could be the root cause?
