Happy Friday 5th genners.. lately my 2021 Laramie has had some sort of whistling in the passenger side rear corner of the cab. When I open my sunroof, drivers front and passenger front windows I get a whistling noise that fluctuates with how much wind is blowing into the cab. I haven't had time to sit in the back seat and try to scope it out while someone else drives yet. So, I am curious has anyone had anything similar? This only happens at 60+mph and varies day to day. I almost think the seals around the passenger side rear door are letting air out and whistling in the process. If this whistling is occurring and I open the passenger side rear window the whistling stops immediately.

Could be caused by a door alignment needing a minor tweak?
I’m thinking that or replacing the seal or something. I’ll have to tape the door off soon and see if that fixes it.

I remember reading about how the rear passenger seat brackets have an unused hole that goes straight down out of the cab, it is covered with just a tape and sometimes it'll fall off and that causes the noise. Check under the passenger seat brackets/rails and see if that is the issue. Been meaning to check mine to make sure the tape is still on there and look for a better permanent solution like a rubber plug or something

I will take a look. Mine seems to be located at the upper corner of the door more than anything but it’s worth a look.

I started getting one from my driver side door rubber seal. Could be that in the rear?
Was yours a whistling noise with certain windows down? I am still thinking this is my issue.

Mine was a whistling noise with the windows up. Top of the driver door between the door and the seal. I folded up a card as a shim, put in between and it went away. Having the dealer look at it as we speak.

Ah okay. That’s much more annoying than my issue. Mine I can control but whistling with windows up would get old fast.
