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.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
