wind noise C7 Z06
Search didn't come up with anything. I've got a little wind whistle noise near the bottom side of the passenger A pillar. Usually starts around 40-45 mph and gets louder with increased speed. When I turn the windshield wipers on it goes away. Anyone else? It's not very loud, just enough to aggravate me. For now, I'm just turning up the volume on my music.

I don't have an answer for you but may be able to help you diagnose it. I know you think it is at the psgr A pillar but does your wife agree? Not a joke, I worked on Lexus for 20+ years and you would be amazed how many times we took two techs on a test drive because noises can fool you re; location. First thing I do is the dollar bill test. Use a dollar bill because it is strong material. As you open and close the door stick half of the bill in as the door or window closes against the seal. Once closed you should be able to pull the bill out but it should take a little effort. If you get to a spot where it comes out easily try to figure out why. Next grab a roll of masking tape and go for a drive. All around that A pillar put tape over every joint but just 4-6 inches at a time. Joints are windshield to trim piece, a pillar to door glass, mirror pedestal to door, removeable top panel to body at the top of the windsheild, etc. Any small gap, one piece to the other, can create a whistle. Best wishes to you.
