    Coming from the holes in the control arms, and you need to either tape them up until a fix is released

    Is this wind noise like wind wushing through the seals or a high pitched whistle type noise?

    I'm referring to the window wind noise which seems to be coming from the window seals. I took care of the control arm noise already.

    Another member found out it's a door seal flap on the driver door towards the top of the a pillar. He trimmed it for now.
    Another member replaced his windshield; no more whistle.

    I have that same noise, I definitely don't want to change the windshield unless I have to and I will check into the door seal thing, thanks! I have a double cab sport by the way.

    I have the same problem. I can even be stopped with the engine off and I hear the wind noise. It sounds like it is coming from behind the driver's side above the access door. I also hear it when driving and I have a moderate wind blowing across the truck. I had a 2015 Tacoma access cab that had the same problem. Sold it and bought the 2016 Tacoma. It is not a whistle, but just annoying wind noise. Have just learned to live with it.

    I have it coming from the window pillar area as well. Mine sounds more like a owl hooting. Sometimes a whistle. Links to the post be helpful. I search could not find the post you are referring too.

    Is yours a sport too? I noticed today that during the snow, the way that the scoop is made, it seems to be funneling a bunch of snow (air) mid-way up the drivers window. I wonder if that is the answer?

    Anyone else with drivers door wind noise or a fix?

    Not howling... not control arm... Just plain wind noises from drivers door that increases if it is window outside. Highway speeds only.

    I am betting it's a door seal but we had the wind pick up again where I live and it's back. I can hit about 120km per hr and trigger it when it's windy . I am going to get a service done soon and address it with my dealer. It was way to snowy to hit those speeds with wind.
