Ear Pressure While in Park


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone - I stumbled upon a bunch of threads about booming/buffeting and ear pressure sensations, mostly from a few years ago, and have been reading through them. Having some ear pressure issues with my 2017 LT Tahoe and trying to figure out if the exact issue was figured out. There is definitely some booming at low speeds, which doesn't necessarily bother me, but I feel like I'm feeling this weird airplane sensation ear pressure at all times when I'm in the car (even if I'm just sitting there in Park with the car on). It almost feels like it could be due to some sort of noise cancellation, but I am pretty sure that 2017 LT (luxury and open road package) don't have this capability. Have a infant son, so I'm a little timid to put him in there if I am feeling this pressure so trying to nail down what this is and any possible fix. Has anyone had similar issues to this and been able to figure out a fix? Again, this seems to be an issue when we are in the car in Park and travelling at generally low speeds (0 - 40 mph). Thanks for the help!

Yeah this is an old subject.  There was a ton of what folks thought it was, even a few tricks (you probably read it all).  A few dealers tried a couple of things, but no GM fix.  What kind of music do you listen to while parked or traveling at low speeds?  Do you listen on FM, XM, or media?  Found out early on with these trucks, more bass was not the cause of buffeting, but it made the problem worse.
