I remember reading that someone had their OnStar antenna was lose according to the dealership (discovered when replacing the headliner from leaking rear window I believe). That could be what this is from?

I don’t believe so. The antenna is over the driver side. The noise I’m hearing is right about the review mirror area. Almost seems like it’s the way the wind is deflecting off the hood and hitting the windshield. I’ve never heard it that area before on any vehicles I’ve driven. I’ll see if I can take a good video and post it.

The antenna was definitely loose. They tightened it. But I still have the wind noise. They have to do further research/inspecting as a I took them for a ride in another truck and showed them the difference.

I notice slight wind noise from rear spoiler over 65 mph, but nothing out of ordinary from front. I have driven my 19 then 20 and probably 12 service loaners never noticed any noise from front rearvi

I talked to a gm person on live chat about this vehicle making me feel dizzy, ringing in my ears, and hard to focus on the road while driving it. I think it's a combination of the constant wind noise

Try turning on and off the recirculation for the climate control. Mine has a wind noise that I can make go away with the climate control settings

 

Tried that. Didn't work. They have to do further research/inspecting as a I took them for a ride in another truck and showed them the difference.

Subbing for updates. I've got a 2016 with the same issue. Pretty gnarly howling sound at anything above 35mph. I

 

I've got mud tires and exhaust and can still hear it over that, especially when cruising @ 70 or so.

I have the same issue.  I put a smaller antenna on and the dealership said it was from that.  I changed them out today and will see if that helps.  If anyone found out what the issue is please update.

The dealership found the problem on mine.  It was lacking screws in the fender lining by the mud flap causing the sound.  Hopefully that helps you guys out.  I have 2020 trail boss custom

Mine is the same way and driving me crazy. I have spent hours determining the source to no avail. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the door. Dealer came and picked it up but said they could not duplicate the the noise which is BS it does it 100% of the time and gets worse over 70 MPH.

I had a nasty wind noise coming from the passenger side review mirror. Turned out that the 6mm bolt on the bottom of the front mud flap was only half way in from the factory. Tightened it up and no more noise. This made no since at all. This drove me nuts for 2 months.

Just purchased a 2019 -2500 High Country Crew Cab with 30,000 miles and have the wind noise at 40 MPH coming from the top of door at the curve to the rear. It is very annoying and I plan on cross country travel. 

 

My dealer (Wilkins Buick GMC)  replaced the mirror gasket that I suggested to them after reading about it on this forum that they found ripped on the left side. They added a new door bolt that is a new design and they also replaced my door gasket, but I have still have wind noise in my ear. WHAT TO DO ?

 

This was a Certified Used and was air noise was checked off as OK on the 172 point Certified Inspection.

I have experienced a high pitched wind noise, but every time I was driving at 60+ mph and had a strong cross wind. I have Weather Tech in channel door window vent visors. The moment I cracked the window the noise went away. I think the Weather Tech vent visors are the issue. It's not a big deal to me, so I just carry on.

Mine been to the dealer 7 times now over the course of 4 month for this.   They’ve replaced the window and seals, replace the door seals, checked the window seal, re adjusted the the whole door hinges brackets.   And still can’t figure it out.   My wind noise on a windy day starts 45 plus.  On a non windy day starts 75-80 but if I do over 85 it drowns out the radio and there is zero chance of having any kind of conversation.   It the only negative on this truck and it’s a big massive negative.

Check mud flaps or running boards if you have them, strange wind flow around the trucks. I added front flaps and it helped what was sounding off the running board in my opinion.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
