Has anyone had a rather loud wind noise develop while driving on the highway during a strong crosswind? It seems to come from the windshield at the top. Have had it at the dealer but could not duplicate necessary conditions for it to appear. Help!
cdkdshaw said:I too have had this problem. At speeds above 70 with crosswinds from right to left I have experienced the same "flute" effect. I have done the screening spline/foam treatment as described elsewhere and that didn't seem to help. However, I tried something else and it seemed to work. It appears as though when the power windows are closed completely, the frame/window vibrate rapidly, creating this noice. I nudged the window button just enough to release the pressure...
Wow! same location where I experienced the same noise. We were on a 3 week road trip last summer when we passed PalmSpring when we experienced the noise.dl24600 said:Yes, I experienced it too while driving through the Palm Springs area yesterday where it's always windy (It's so windy there that they have wind mill farms to generate electricity!). It seems to me to be coming from either the roof rack or from around the driver's window and it sounds like notes from a flute or clarinet. Most of them were short bursts of sound but some went on for a good 4 to 5 seconds. I believe they were in the key of G.
