On the highway I hear a faint sound of air at the front driver’s door or window. Anyone else have this? That’s annoying and good luck has been the only answer for it.

Like a leak in the window sill? Or something related to the A/C?

My first thought was that the window wasn’t sealing correctly, now that you mention the a/c I’ll turn the system off and troubleshoot from there. Thanks for the starting tip I’ll be back!!

I’m dealing with the same issue. I did notice the right rear arm rest compartment blows air out substantially, causing a constant loud noise. Still trying to figure out the leak as well, as it sound like it’s coming from the sunroof area. The rear doors seem to pick up road noise as well.

I haven’t been able to find the exact location of the air movement , but if I press my elbow hard against the middle of the driver’s window that air noise stops. Very evident on a not so smooth highway. Service Department said, “That’s annoying” and in other words, good luck.. Need someone’s opinion as to how to tackle this with the dealership.

I have the same issue as well that I noticed about 3 months ago and it has been driving me nuts. It's only the driver side window and same thing if I press my elbow or hand against the window the air noise stops. It almost seems like the seal or weather strip is not as fitted with the window. Also, experimented with wedging a piece of paper between window and seal and that helped too but obviously not a permanent fix. Dealership/Service Dept. won't do anything about it either. Says window alignment and seal all look fine. I was thinking about adding a layer of weather striping to the seal to see if that would work as a wedge, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Yes, I’m on the verge of doing some Macgyver type modification. Everybody that rides with me , mostly the wife says I’m hearing things, can’t wait to show her your reply. Keep in touch, as I will also. Thanks my noise annoyance friend.
