Hi,
just picked up a brand new 2012 with SHAWD with Tech package. love love love this car, anyway, but notice a weird noise when traveling at highway speed around 60-80mph. I've already searched noise on this forum, mostly just creaking noise, but this noise is different. This noise sounds like there is a piece of Scotch tape with 1/2 of it is taped to the car's outside area where the driver's side seat belt anchor is located, and the other 1/2 is hanging loosely so when I am going at 60-80mph, the loosely hanging piece is moving thru the air very fast thus making this noise. I thought maybe the dealer forgot to remove a small piece of those white protective film, but I can't any. So anyone had this issue? it's definitely wind related. I have a feeling if I bring this back to the dealership, they will most likely tell me they can't find any issue. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Is it coming from the speaker or outside?

If outside- maybe you picked up some plastic refuse on the underside.

Or they missed a tear-off on the underside prep.

Safely and carefully look under for a cling on. A flashlight may help.

If no cling-ons found underneath...

Is it inside the door, or coming from the speaker? Get a 2nd person in the pass seat to locate the sound.

Then, if its not the speaker, try w/pass- cracking the window and/or changing hvac modes- to see if it changes the sound.

If so it could be an air leak on the door or window seal/s.

I just got a 2013 RDX and I hear wind noise in the back passanger window area..on highway at certain times .. I suspect the tubing around the door frame is not very snug. I actually was able to simply pluck it out and stick it back .. there are little rubber nipples that tuck in to the metal edge of the door. Tried to jiggle the gasket but sound still there and thinking of taking to the dealer to check it out..
