I've got a high pitched whistle that corresponds directly to the wind noise on my truck that I can't figure out. Doesn't seem to be coming from the doors. Maybe the dash? The windshield? Anyone else have this problem?
 
Ive noticed it the last couple days..mine is probably 65 and over or at least highway speeds!
 
Have wind noise also coming from passenger side dash. Haven t been able to sit over and pin point yet.
 
I noticed a whistle after I installed my rambar. Do you guys have rambars?
 
I have it also. Since I picked it up brand new. There is a thread somewhere that the guy had it fixed. They have to take out the whole dash which is why I’ve been hesitating. It’s some seal that has to be replaced.

That sucks 🥺
 
My truck is currently at the dealer with this issue. There is a service bulletin where they pull the dash and re seal the firewall. The dealer performed this work, and confirmed they still hear the whistling wind noise 😭. They are now having a 3rd party glass company come out to re seal the windshield…hopefully ill get a positive resolution sometime next week 🙈

I'll have to find this thread. I'm having the dealership fix my dash because it got a scratch in it when some lights were being installed. Since it'll be out, I'd like to take care of this ahead of time.

Maybe I'll try and get them to reseal the windshield first
 
Check mirrors as well, some JL Wranglers had wind noise that everyone swore was from the corner of the dash / windshield and several of these turned out to be door mirrors that were not sealing properly...just a thought and good luck!
 
Has anyone with this problem found a solution yet ?
My issue hasnt been resolved yet, but might as well give a update. So they originally checked the HUD clips and even added some foam/seal inside the driver side A-pillar. Tested and noise was still there. For some reason RAM recommended they have my windshield re-sealed. Dealers dont do glass, so that job had to be farmed out 3rd party, which took over a week for them to come and do the work. Test drive, noise still there…so my SA tells me at that point another tech remembered of having a similar issue on another truck he worked on. In that trucks case, they checked the cowl area and found a seal or plug that wasnt sitting right. That ended up being the culprit for that truck. In my case, they checked the cowl, and found the same, a plug that they could access by hand was loose and they could stick their finger through. So they are confident that is where my noise is coming from, RAM has a oem seal kit that was 5 days out a week ago…so I hope the seal job they can access from the cowl fixes my issue. Otherwise SA says RAMs next recommendation is to remove the dash…and just hearing that phrase makes my balls itch. Ill update hopefully soon with good news.
 
Did the sound come from this split between the body? When driving between vegas and Phoenix there were times I would a high pitch whistle. Took me a while but I was able to find out the vibrations were strongest right there when I had my hand on the inside while driving.

I had the same issue in my 2015 Ram Sport. I had the windshield replaced 3 times with a different technician each time from Safelite.
Each time the tech critiqued the previous job and the issue seemed to be about the placement of windshield, not the seal. Finally they found the sweet spot for the windshield and the whistle was eliminated. One the 4th replacement right before I sold it there was no whistle. I guess I’ll find out in a week or two if I will be a victim with the TRX.
 
Wouldn’t call the noise I have a whistle or high pitch. More like the sound if you have a window slightly cracked/open, but coming from passenger side dash
 
i have the same thing on passenger side a-pillar. On my truck there is actually no black paint in between the seam of the pillar and windshield, only primer is visible.

However, the wind noise seems to come and go based on a vent or louver moving in the blower vents on the firewall. As it will be noisy for a while, and guessing when auto climate system comes on it quiets down for a bit.

Any updates on this concern? I also have the passenger side A pillar whistle and would love to hear if we found a fix!
