Howling noise from passenger side window, not the usual

    Yesterday I took my 2023 Platinum on its first real road trip and noticed that when I got up to 80mph a howling noise emanated from what seemed to be the passenger side window.

    I thought at first this was the known issue with door wind noise but then I noticed that when I took my foot off the gas briefly I would still travel at our above 80mph and the noise diminished to almost nothing.

    Am I hearing the turbo possibly? It doesn't sound like a turbo diesel with the sharp high pitched metallic sound, but rather a high pitched howl like you'd hear when a storm is howling against house windows.

    It's just odd that the noise goes away when I take my foot off the accelerator regardless of high speed.

    Probably the door window is not sealing properly when closed.

    Thought so initially but taking my foot off the accelerator stood the noise even when there's no loss in speed.

    Anyone else who owns a 2022+ Tundra experience this sound, turbo, seals, apparitions, or other theories aside?

    My 23 cm sr5 does this. It gets louder the faster you go over 80mph while on the gas pedal. It reminds me of how my trd off road Tacoma’s diff howled around 60mph, which is a normal annoying characteristic of that model. It really doesn’t bother me because I don’t cruise that fast.
