    Anyone ran into this sound? Coming from my passenger side and only starts when I hit 70mph or more. Initially I thought it was a speaker, but I unplugged both of those during a road trip and the noise continued.

    No clue why an audio file is such a pain to get hosted, smh. YT kept having errors. Let's see if this works.

    Any ideas?

    I ocassionally experience a sound like yours at freeway speeds with a strong cross wind. I believe it is my weather stripping leaking wind. Even thought I have an Access Cab and you have a DCSB, I would still check your weather stripping on your doors.

    I do have a DCSB. I will give that a look. I added a 2nd layer of weather stripping a few years back too.

    Maybe layer 1 and layer 2 combined is letting air through.

    Checked the weather stripping. Passenger side looked fine. Driver side had a tear but no sounds on that side. To see if it made a difference, I pulled my 2nd layer completely off on both sides. No change. I did learn that the sound is only between 67 and 73 mph, super weird, and it seems to get louder on the decel than the accel. Looks like I'm back to the drawing board. Don't have a 2nd driver available otherwise I would just try that, ha.
