Default Whistling

When driving @ 10 mph I hear a whistling noise coming from the area of the seam between the drivers door and the rear drivers side door. Let me say this first, it is not the turbo, I am very familiar with turbo spool up. It is the same noise you hear from your grandfathers old truck with the screw missing in the side mirror that whistles on the highway, but the difference is that I have no holes anywhere. The doors meet perfect, was never wrecked and never had any body work done. I have narrowed the spot down pretty good to somewhere where those 2 doors meet. Anybody else's truck do this?

Do you have a sliding rear window? Check and make sure it's shut/latched. Mine did that till I fingered out what it was

I have a similar problem on my 2006 Mega Cab but mine sounds like it is coming from the mirror. I have the flip up towing mirrors. I am debating on taking it back to the dealer because it is only a month old. I hate to take it back to the dealer for such a minor problem.

I hear a strange whistle right next to my left ear coming from God only knows where that only happens when my AC is on high. It grates on my nerves[:@]

Try windows down then back up and see what happens, they might not be sealing all the way. What about AC on medium or low?

Check you cab vent, sounds like your pressurizing the cabin, turn it on recirculate and see if it quits making the noise
