need suggestions on how I can determine where wind noise is coming from on 2012 TL. I know it's on the passenger side. Sounds like it might be the weather stripping but can't be sure.

I compared the weather stripping and all seals to the driver side - they look the same.

Any and and all suggestions about how to pinpoint where the noise is coming from are appreciated.

Thanks jtech316. I appreciate your help.

 

I really hope that this isn't the case, but a similar passenger noise lead me to getting my propeller shaft replaced.

 

If it's really a wind leak you can stop the wind noise by mask off all the door to body gaps on the right side of the car to see if if the wind leak has stopped. If so then just remove a section of the tape at a time to narrow down the area that's leaking.

Also don't forget that there are gaps between the door glass and the door glass frame too so, you may need to tape off the door glass to door frame gaps as well if needed.

 

I'm curious to know what speed you are noticing this at? I noticed a slight high pitched whistle today that doesn't get louder with speed/rpm's and is actually more noticeable <15MPH. It seems so high pitched I suspect it is wind but I'm still not sure.

 

It's noticeable around 30mph and higher. I've ordered the 3 different weather stripping. I'll update this thread after I install it.

Side note: we have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and experienced a similar high pitched whistle (as you referenced above). Through researching forums/google/youtube I found the problem to be the plastic molding on top of the windshield glass, just above the hood - right where the windshield wipers are. There was a small gap which I ended up sealing with epoxy - which stopped the whistle noise.

 

Thanks. Please let us know how it goes with the weatherstrip. I'm hoping mine is similar to your odyssey and not the propeller shaft issue in it's infancy.
