I have a 2014 1500 CC 4x4 , at about 70 miles an hour I have a wind whistling noise some where near the front drivers side windshield. I have a bug deflector on the front. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a whistling sound, but I'm almost positive its the aftermarket antenna I put on.

remove it and take said 70 mph drive again. a lot of people have mentioned wind noises with shorter antennas as they don't have the OEM antenna style grooves.

My OEM antenna whistles at highway speeds. It has the spiral wrap, but the last 1.5" of the top part is nearly flat.

My driver side whistle is my door window seal. With the window all the way up at stop it'll whistle. If I just barely tap the window down it'll stop, but is still sealed.

I don't care enough to take it to the dealer so they can tear it apart and make it worse. lol

I had the same noise when I had that same antenna. Took it off and it was gone.

Another thing to check is the mirror. I've have head of that a few times. Mine was finger tight when I checked

My wind noise appeared when I put on the AVS in channel vent shades on my truck. It's not loud or obnoxious, it's just there.
It wasn't until I installed the vent shades. Your's might be the same thing.

Could be right... I might need to look into that..

Thanks
