My 2012 Chevy 2500 crew cab and Hawk combo are a pleasure on the road. With the radio off, the most annoying sound is the snoring of the dog. Around 85 the engine starts to make it's presence known.

Get an older Dodge CTD and you'll never notice any wind noise.

I have an 05 silverado 1500 and I get ton of wind noise at highway speeds. If there is a head wind you can hear it actually flexing the doors out. I am going to replace the door pins as the driver side is getting loose. But man, if I knew how loud this Chevy was going to be, I would have never bought it. 

 

Anyone else have a similar truck with lots of road noise?

my 2002 GMC 2500hd is pretty quiet on the highway, even at 80 mph with the camper on.  What body style is your 1500?

Vic Harder - I have the extended cab with the suicide back doors. I am going to try replacing the door hinge pins, then adjust the back door latches and probably replace the weather stripping. I was able to get the truck for a great deal and it is paid off so I am just going to work with what I got and try and make it better. It does really well with my Phoenix pop-up and gets "decent" MPG. Just want to fix the road noise.

My 2012 2500HD crew cab is very quiet. The early club cabs with the suicide doors did have problems with wind noise and is why they now have a center post conventional design.

the rear pop out window is known to get noisy i fixed mine this spring

Vic, what did you do to "fix" the rear window? I have read they can be noisy but my front doors are so loud I don't know if there is any noise coming from the pop out windows?

[Vic Harder]

I ended up bending the sheet metal close to where the clamp is to move the assembly inboard by a few mm.  I had tried adding weatherstripping prior to that, that just made it worse.

 

There is a replacement part available on ebay that changes the length of the "dogbone" in the assembly.  This slight change in geometry is also supposed to help.  My solution (bending) was cheaper!
