Whistling noise on freeway

Certain times while driving on the freeway, i hear a whistling noise from my truck. Would it be coming from the two black strips down the cab? Passenger side is slightly raising up. I dont know what those are even for?

 

I believe it’s your weather seals on your doors, other people have had this problem also. Do a google search with tacoma in it and see.

 

Doing 75-85 MPH with a heavy crosswinfd will make my Tacoma whistle. It's the rubber sealon the door. There's a thread here on it on how to fix it.

 

The ol' Kazoo strikes again.

There is a TSB i believe for this.. but i have also had the same thing happening in my 2013, and it hasnt caused any problems like leaking. Unless it bothers you, there is nothing to worry about

 

There is a service bulletin at your Toyota dealer about this. They replace the door weather seals.

 

It really only bothers me when im trying to listen to true crime podcasts haha when my music is blasting i cant hear anything...including my wife....

 

Lol that sounds like it might not always be a bad thing!

Oh its not, but when im by myself trying to learn about serial killers, its terrible. I googled it and looks like AVS channel vents ( or whatever theyre called) might be in my future

 

Do eeet! you'll love them. i have the in-channel AVS ones on my truck. I would personally avoid the "stick-on" type as they wont last as long. The AVS ones should serve you well!

 

Where did you get yours? I found them on Auto Anything for 62.99 for front and rear set. Easy install?

 

Mine actually came on the truck when i bought it, but i think install should be as easy as popping them into place. Here are the ones i've got. The pic is of a chebby, but these are for the taco, if you go down and look at images, you'll see em on some double cab 2nd gens

dang bro! Saving me 20 bucks? I owe you a Modelo or 2! Thank you kind sir!

 

OP.

Answer this,

Is it a faint tea kettle whistle,

or is a loud kazoo sound.

 

Absolutely broski!

 

Not necessarily faint but its a tea kettle noise, randomly

 

Its not door seals then.

Its the front top grill to hood gasket. Open your hood and you will see a rubber gasket that runs the top of the grill and meets the hood right at the tip. Easy fix, put a piece of 1/4in dripper irrigation line (stuff can be had in like 10-20ft rolls for like 2 bucks at a hardware store). And push a piece through the opening. There was a TSB for this tea kettle whistle sound a while back wherein the dealer put a new seal on the grill and adjust the grill.

The other sound that sounds exactly like a kazoo which will occur in HEAVY crosswinds is the door seals.

 

I get the same noise. At first I thought it was my window visors, but after reading this I’m thinking differently
