Default Highway speeds and wind

Hey guys just trying to figure out if this is the nature of the beast, or just me or my truck.

My previous F150 did not exhibit more cabin noise when it was windy out. My 2015 is very quiet at highway speeds unless it's windy then all bets are off. Normal? Anyone else notice this?

I have the same issue and I know a few others have mentioned they get excessive wind noise at speed on the highway. I took mine to the dealer and they acknowledged there was a strong wind noise but all the weatherstripping was intact and the doors were aligned. They wanted to keep my truck another day but I needed it back and they didn't provide a rental. Still need to take it back.

I only get the wind noise by the drivers side, passenger side is dead quiet. Pretty annoying on a road trip.

I have not noticed a strong wind making a difference. I have traveled TN, AR, OK, TX, and MS in strong storms and high winds. During heavy rain it was obviously noisy but the wind didn't seem to make a difference. My truck has a much quieter cabin than my wife's 2014 Infiniti

Good to know thanks. Mine is definitely wind sensitive, especially head winds.

My 15 Silverado was way quieter, but the F150 is an overall better truck.

I hear wind noise also but it is not squealing it just wind noise I think it is normal. I just turn radio up I put the rain guards on also and did not make a difference.

I hear wind noise at speed also when it's windy, otherwise it's quiet. I thought it was just mine but I guess not.

Thanks for letting us know. Perhaps it's the nature of the beast although my 2010 did not do it. Geez starting to think I should have held on to my rusting, comfy and quiet platinum LOL
