Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox 2023 owners report experiencing irritating air noise coming from the windows, even when they are not fully open. This issue, common among various Chevrolet Equinox models, includes high-pitched whistling, rumbling sounds, and buffeting noises in the cargo area, particularly noticeable at speeds between 45-65+ mph, often perceived as coming from outside the vehicle near the side mirror. Some drivers have found that slightly opening another window while adjusting the existing one can help reduce the cabin noise disturbance. This problem has led to frustration and disappointment regarding the vehicle's design, especially when driving over 40 mph with any window down. Additionally, Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) have been issued for the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox, highlighting potential noise issues and other technical concerns that may impact the driving experience. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to consult with a Chevrolet dealership or service center for effective resolution.
