Howling noise from passenger mirror?

At speeds over 80 with a strong crosswind, I get a weird shriek / howl from around the passenger mirror. It doesn't appear to be the rear window TSB, tonight my wife confirmed she was hearing it from the direction of the mirror.

Anyone else have this problem? It also happens without crosswinds, but at higher speeds. Somewhat annoying, although it doesn't happen much due to the speed requirement.

I have the same problem. I hear the a howling wind noise when I hit speeds of 115 km/hr and higher. I too suspect that it's coming from the 2 front windows near the side mirror location because the rear window TSB which was done on my car 3 months ago didn't eliminate the wind noise problem.

try to roll down your first window not much just a bit. Tap on it I beleive it is your front window.

oh man, i totally thought i was hearing things
this usually happens to me when im between the 100-120mph range but I always thought the noise was coming from my tires. kind of a weird whirling/whistling type of sound

My car is at the dealer right now and has been for a week because of the noise coming from the driver side window. They have replaced all the seals but couldn't eliminate the noise. The factory engineer will be there this coming week to check it out. There is some serious build quality, or lack there of, regarding the noise issues on this car. Infiniti needs to step up and check their production lines. My other car, Toyota Sequoia, twice the size my G and have no wind noise. Please don't tell me that noise is normal.

C'mon guys. Of course we're gonna get wind nose going 100+ (for some of you)

Our cars aren't as aerodynamic as a Ferrari Enzo or anything and I'm pretty sure an Enzo would have wind noises when it's going fast.

Plus, the OP states the presence of some crosswind, which to me, makes perfect sense.

It's not just wind noise, not on mine anyways mine sounds almost
like more of a squealing . . . .

I am spoiler-less. And for the other poster re wind noise, I expect wind noise, I just don't expect weird harmonics. Pretty sure Nissan owns a wind tunnel...

Any update on this? I got the same problem but the dealer won't do sh*t cause it only happens 100+. I think mine is coming from the passenger window area...

I have done 120mph and have never experienced any noise out of the ordinary.
