    I’m getting a low pitched back whistling at hwy speeds coming from front passenger window/door area. Weather strips appear good. Thoughts?

    Make sure the window is all the way up.

    Check the fender liners. Check the cowl trims. Check windshield gaskets.

    Consider replacing the "appear good" weather strip.

    I second this. I had the same exact noise that was driving me crazy. Turns out I must've bumped the rear passenger window switch. It was open slight enough that I couldn't even tell.

    Yeah, it’s not the window. I’ll check the others. Thanks!

    I had a similar noise after my dog had rode shotgun. Took a bit for me to find the source. Turned out to be the window.

    Apparently, the dog had briefly stepped on the window down button, just enough to crack the window open. Now, when my dog rides shotgun, I lock out the passenger window at my door control.

    Use 2" blue painters tape and tape the door up outside and drive it see if noise gone then you know. Top of front windshield was a problem area as factory did not apply enough sealant on install not sure years (my 09 had that one) and tape located that. I just turn the radio up - but after long trips my hearing suffers.
