Default Does your truck whistle?

Just bought a new 2018 F-150 a few weeks ago. I love the truck, but there's been a handful of issues with it already. Here is one of them. Does anyone else have a whistling truck? Dealer hasn't been able to fix. Noise appears to originate from driver's side, front of the dash. Video of the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/re5bupzig9...truck.mp4?dl=0

Only while it works.

Just kidding. Definitely a wind leak and I would take care of it ASAP. If wind is getting in so can water.

Hell no. Take that back to dealer as others said. Tell them fix it and call me when done.

Must be supercharged!

Seriously, I had the exact same kind of whistle from a hood mounted bug shield once, but I didn't see one in your vid.

Would you say it is definitely 'wind' related.... or could it be attributed to bearing issues in a turbo?? Just tossing it out there. Seems like the most common issue would be a poorly sealed/installed windshield. I had an issue like that with my wife's car..... when I pushed my fist against the inside of the glass while driving (be careful if you do this of course) it quit making the noise... as soon as I released the pressure of my fist pressing on the glass... it came back. I had the glass company come back out and remove and reinstall the windshield and the 2nd time, they used more 'sealant' and I had no issues after that.
