    Hello everyone,

    I've had my 2015 for about 7 months now and have little to no complaints about it.
    The only two I do have, however, are annoying sounds. I just want to see if others are having similar issues and if so, what they are doing about it.
    One is more annoying than the other so I'll start with this one:

    It's a strange windy noise, that others on this thread have described to sound almost like a kazoo. The noise tends to appear when going around 75-80+ mph.. I can't really describe where it's coming from. Sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the passenger side, sometimes it sounds like its coming from underneath the glove box, it's difficult to check when driving that fast. (Yes, I drive that speed when the freeway is empty. Who doesn't?!)

    The second noise is almost like a squeak that I tend to hear when driving slow around bumpy areas. There's been a lot of construction near my place lately so I've been hearing it more and more. This noise sounds like it's coming from underneath the transmission shifter box area (not sure if there's a more technical term for that). Though I should add that I heard it again earlier today when pulling my weight forward to look to my right lane before changing lanes so then it looked like it was just some stress noise from the belt. Maybe I could just add some oil around there, who knows..

    Anyhow, please comment if any of these issues have occurred with your trucks.

    Thanks!

    Door gasket or hood gasket are typically the cause. I've done the hood gasket fix on both my '13 and '14.
