    so I have avoided almost every issue I have read about others having with their 2016 Tacomas. One issue I am having, and it is driving me crazy, is this whistle at my driver window and rear passenger window while at highway speeds!!! Am I the only one experiencing this?? It won't let me upload the videos from my iPhone, I will add them when I get home.
    It is really irritating to have a new truck that is embarrassing to have passengers ride in.

    Just curious If I am the only one?

    unfortunately i cant post the video here (page doesnt support the format from my iphone) and i dont wanna take the time and post it to youtube.
    the noise was coming through the passenger front door (door gasket to be specific) i inserted a 3/4" OD medium hard tubing into the door (need to be soft enough to give a little but no squish flat) between the door gasket and the door metal. once i did that the sound stopped and the truck was also alot quieter inside.

    Could adding that squishable foam sealant for doors with 3m backing work?

    I had the same issue on the interstate with a 20mph crosswind. It would catch the drivers door and whistle terribly bad. A folded up can coozy placed in the door seal maintained my sanity got the remaining 90 miles. I will look into a solution soon

    Same issue. Crosswind and highway speed sounds like a kazoo. Might try the tubing thing and see if that works.

    I had the same kazoo issue after I had a windshield changed. I ended up putting wet toilet paper on the leak and it stopped till I could get it changed. Yup I fixed my truck with spit and TP.

    I thought the kazoo sound was a crosswind from the side mirrors? I only hear it during wind gusts with the tunes turned down. Definitely a thread on it, but maybe yours is a door seal?
