    I recently purchased a 2020 Tacoma TRD OR and have about 3k miles on it.
    I started noticing a slight whine/whistle sound coming from the front driver side (maybe wheel well) after driving on it for about 30 minutes at around 10-25 mph. I also hear a similar sound in the rear passenger side wheel area when I run over a small bump. Doesn’t happen often. I just took it into the dealer, and they couldn’t replicate the noise I’ve been hearing. They checked everything out and ruled out a suspension issue. Anyone have any thoughts of what it could be? Thanks in advance

    Mine does it also when i let off the gas it goes away . I have around 5500 miles .i just turn up the radio now . I’m thinking it’s the mirror there is a gap there and I have heard it when I had the window down .maybe the way the wind hits it ... it’s pretty annoying

    I thought they fixed that in the later models?

    If not, you can get a plug at a hardware store and it'll fix it up.
