Exclamation Whistling in the Cabin

Hey guys Im havin a new problem with the G and wanted to see if anyone has experienced it before.
When Im cruising down a highway and going decently fast, around 80-90. I hear the whistling sound coming from the passenger side as if there is air being let it. It sounds like its coming from the top corner where the pillar meets the roof. Again this is a brand new problem and I havent had the windshield replaced nor do I have any stars or cracks.
Ill be taking it to the dealer shortly but I wanted to see if any of you could help me out first.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. I'm at 1year and 1month ownership with 15,000 miles I'll probably take it in soon to complain to dealership this should be covered under warranty but sometimes getting the dealership to replace something is like pulling teeth.

I think others have posted same issue.

Especially in CA. Isn't the posted speed on the 405 15 mph? I like Boston, they pass on the right side of the white line. That was crazy the first time I experienced that. My car only makes loud growling noises at 80-90 mph, no whistles.

My 08 G did this for the longest time on the drivers side and I never had any idea what was causing it. When I had the car in last week because the window wouldn't stay rolled up, they replaced all of the sensors and regulators in the drivers door, and now the window goes up further into the seal and the noise is gone. I know the window goes up a little bit further, because there is a mark in the window tint where it used to stop and that mark is now covered up by the seal. I would see if the dealership can adjust the window up a little bit, as that should fix the problem.

I had this problem a year ago and the dealership realigned the window closer to the seal, but now the sound is back, so I'm guessing the window needs to be realigned again.

I had this happen to both my driver's side and passenger side on separate occasions. Both times, I took it to the dealership and they realigned the windows. Basically, your window isn't going up as far into the seal as it's supposed to. The dealership can fix it in about 15 minutes.
