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.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
