wind noise

Start to get a slight whistle at 80 mph. Can't tell where it's coming from yet... Just curious to hear what other folks are experiencing. I expect to hear some buffeting and whistling at 140 mph, of course. ;-)

Never noticed any on mine.

Do you have a sunroof? Is the cover closed on it?

on my coupe, i had a slight whiste/wind noise sound when i was going about 80mph. I heard it coming from my driver side window as it sounded like an air leak. I told my dealer and they said they adjusted my window. It helped a little bit. I figure if I keep complaining about it, they will ask why I am even going that fast

wind noise - souce found

Well, it turns out the wind whistling going on at 75+ mph is not coming from the windshield, door window, door, etc.

It's coming climate control fresh air/recirculation door... With the fresh air setting, no noise. With recycled air selected, I get a whistling noise. This means the door and/or seal around the door that keeps fresh air from coming into the cabin needs adjusting.

Hi, I have the same wind whistling noise on windy days only ... I am unable to figure out where it is coming from. I tried the vent solution ... it happens in both positions... so it is not the vent issue for me ... anybody else have wind whistling noise?

Took it to the dealer ... guy started laughing and said we can not check anything until we can reproduce it ...so come back on a windy day ....

Thanks

There is a lot more wind noise than I am accustomed to in a car of this caliber. I just turn the radio up louder

I am getting a wind noise in the rear passenger window, anyone experienced this?

It is only that window and it is completely up (brand new car, bought 2 days ago)

Happens around 70-75+ mph

Sorry to revive an old thread

But I just bought my car 3 days ago and I get the wind noise on the right side passenger window. Turns out it's the rubber lining of the door being loose at one specific location. Not sure if it's worth driving to dealer and wait however long they want to lag to fix it.

Hope this clarifies some of your wind frustrations.

I'm 6 months into my '09G and have been noticing wind noise coming from the rear passenger door somewhere....seems like perhaps the small quarter window. Anyone else have this...or had & fixed this?

I got my 2010 about 3 months ago. It was a 50 mile drive home from the dealership along I-75 in SW Florida. The average speed we drive around here is 80. On the trip home I noticed some wind noise. I had just traded in a Jeep GJ that was almost 10 years old and was getting some wind noise so I was expecting the G to be wind noise free.
Since then I have put 4,000 miles on the G and haven't noticed any more wind noise. I was thinking maybe one of the windows hadn't been closed completely when I drove it home from the dealer.

Put me down for a more than frustrating wind noise. Mine also happens around 65-75 mph, I have it isolated to one of the rear windows. I have to take a friend for a ride and see if we can find the exact source.
