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.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
