Interior Whistling Noise

[Jaylon35]

I JUST purchased this truck and I have 2 issues....
- Tailgate is too hard to close on the right side....But...I can live with that
- Whistling noise when I drive over 50 MPH is going to send me to a mental hospital. It is not a door, sunroof, or window seal. When I turn the recirculation button on and off, it stops for a while, but starts back up again. I turn the radio up to avoid it but I can still hear it in the background. It makes interstate driving SO FRUSTRATING. Before I take it to the dealership, can anyone give me an idea of what could be wrong? Thanks

I feel for you. Noises affect me in the worst way too.

Check the floor from underneath the truck near the back seat area. Sounds like a body hole isn't covered or a backseat bolt is loose

Time to find a second person. They drive, you listen. You get to move around. Sit in the back, move side to side. Flip seats up and poke around on the carpet. @Scram1500 is right, there. Someone else discovered a body plug missing when the carpet started getting wet. Maybe sit in the passenger side. Pull out the glove box door like you want to replace the cabin filter and listen in there.

If you don't own one, get a mechanic's stethoscope. Remove the metal tip and stick a tube -- an empty bic pen works perfect -- in the hose and probe where you think it's coming from. Careful not to bang the pen tube hard against anything - it's deafening! It will amplify the faintest noise and you should be able to narrow it down to within just a couple inches.

InterestingI did find a body plug on the floor under the rear passenger seat, but I can't for the life of me, find out where it goes.

Probably in a hole somewhere

Where does it sound like the noise is coming from? Had a 2022 in last week with A pillar wind noise.

Sounds like just all the vents up front. When I turn the recirculation button on and off, it stops for a while, then starts back up.

Been at the dealer a week. They said they found the problem. The technician said it is the recirculation door and housing. I will let u know the results.

 

[Jaylon35]

They replaced the recirculation housing and it WORKS! I feel like I am driving my truck properly for the first time.

So I hot wind noise from the passenger side A frame pillar for the first time today. Hit about 70 mph and it started. Could this be the same issue/solution as the OP?

Not sure...mine started at about 45-50 mph ....and u could hear the cabin air filter move when u press the recirc button...kinda like a thud. So if u dont hear that, it is probably different.

There are several different causes to this issue. After a month without my truck and the dealer failing to fix the issue I dug into myself. I had holes in the sealant at the bottom of the A-Pillar, and I filled them with butyl. No whistle anymore. See my old post about it:

Wind noise

Got my truck back yesterday (14 June...dropped it off 19 May). They said they plugged a hole behind the instrument cluster and replaced the windshield. Drive to 65mph, doesn't whistle on the way home. I'm super happy. Fast forward to this morning, get on first real highway since getting the...

This damn ram is WHISTLING DIXIE!! I am posting audio of my whistle sound. Let me know if yours sounded like this. And if the recirculation housing worked. Mine gets loudest when I choose A/C and recirc at the same time.

*how do I post an audio clip??
