Are you planning on getting this officially inspected by the dealer? If any assistance is needed while in service, don't hesitate to connect with our team.

My dealer tried twice. They have failed twice. Now is worse than before after the last attempt

Greetings everyone on this thread. My truck has been in the shop for a week and finally discovered what they think the noise is. The recirculation door does not fully close. They are now removing my whole dash to replace the part. Once I get right up is done I will post it here.

I mentioned this to my dealer and they said it sounds like a bad recirc door clap without me even mentioning that part. She ordered a new one on the spot and will swap out when it comes in.

Follow up the re-circ door did not fix the issue. Back to the drawing board. Almost at the point, the truck has been in the shop as long as I have owned it.

Do you hear it only when you're messing with the recirc? I have a feeling that when you have recirc on it makes noise, and if you have it on "Auto" it puts it in recirc on its own without lighting up the light since it is "auto". I haven't had mine messed with yet but when I'm on the highway in "Auto" I will randomly hear it, then I hit the recirc button and it there is no change.......BUT if I hit it again to deactivate the recirc it will go away.

No the sound is constant AC on or off, in any setting it stays constant at about 45MPH.

I have a 2019 1500 limited, and have a horrible noise as well. I would describe it as a howl, and only happens at highway speeds on a windy day. My fear of taking it to the shop without diagnosing it is on a calm day, they are going to have to go pretty fast to try to replicate it (90ish), but on windy days it happens at lower speeds (60-70). I don't see them being willing to drive it that fast
Hopefully the yt link below works and you can hear the howling/whistling. Anyone else's sound like that?


I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WERE YOU ABKE TO FIX YOURS.

 

[Ernesto610]

Any idea in fixing this issue

 

[Kungfubhuda]

I don't have the morse code sound, but I've got a high pitched whistling, like the window is down a crack (it's not). Is that normal? It drives me crazy.

 

[Wmyersabn]

The loaner I have is 2019 5th gen and it does not have any sound. Its really quiet. The only difference is its a 4x2.

 

[Kungfubhuda]

That's useful to know. Maybe its a bad seal in the windshield?

 

[pg82009]

I went in for them to seal passenger door with double sided tape, sound is better but still present with a strong crosswind

I've only posted here a couple of times but I to gyave the irritating wind noise, but not really a whistle just sounds like something is open. I've posted before about all my other issues on page 13 I think. This is my second RAM (had to trade the first one off due to issues) but daily I'm having a different issue with my new one. I'm looking into trading this POS off AGAIN! If anyone has any has any ideas or similar sound let me know because I'm at a total loseso as are the other four steelerships I've been to... Also, not trying to hijack the thread guys but is anyone experienced the clatter, pinging/ tapping under slight acceleration almost reminds me of a spark knock its freaking terrible. The dealer says it's normal LOL what a joke.....

Today is 2 weeks that my truck has been in the shop and still not located the noise.
They have now declared it to corporate to get assistance on a fix.

Yesterday I turned the AC on in the truck for the first time ever and noticed a wind whistle type noise like a window was down a smidge. Sounds like its coming from the rear passenger door and goes away when I turn the recirc off. I'm going to add the weather stripping that another member did (not sure if his whistle was the same one) at least at the bottoms of the rear doors and see if it goes away. I was thinking of covering that rear door vent but don't want to damage the ac system or something.

 

[cphillips82]

Added the weather stripping to the bottoms and latch side of rear doors and went for a ride...it's still whistlin'.

If you come up with a solution please let me know. I've been dealing with this issue among several others but I've been unable to pinpoint the source. Also brought to the dealership 3 times for this issue and they've replace weather shipping front and rear now it's worse LoL....omg this truck drives me nuts. I don't even drive it anymore just pay payments $$$..

I'm having same issue, road or wind-noise starting around 40 mph on passenger size. Annoying because the window /seals right next to my head on driver side is so-quiet. Sucks to have the distraction of more noise on the far side of the cab ( left to right). Could be me, but it seems like noise gets louder as radio volume increases. BTW , mine has the cab to box seal . Its going in Friday , my rear wall molded carpet surround was kink/twisted under the seat from the factory. dealer ordered the part and sound deadening. I don't have much hope as it sounds more from the front door B-pillar area. I think the front door and rear door or b-pillar is being pressurized. Or the noise cancellation doesn't work all that well ..Dealer already adjusted the horrible fitting door gaps ( leading edge of the rear doors were out further than the front doors catching road salt /dirt. not sure if the adjustment made it worse. I can hear a slight change in background noise when recirc is closed, but its still present on the passenger side.

The 2019 rental ram i had for 3 weeks , that helped me switch from GM was so much quieter. Wish i scrutinized the noises more in this trucks test drive , i would have passed on this truck. It was garbage winter weather both days.. I hope FCA figures something out this is the only complaint i have with the truck.. I noticed on my buddies 2018 ram they have a few more seals between the doors and body gaps and the gap between the doors.
