Default rear window air noise fluttering sound when window down

2012 screw
When rear window or windows down at any speed I get fluttering sounds I'm thinking head liner loose .
I never noticed before but now I adopted a dog the window is down all the time.
I can't find anything loose, I did add moon roof when new and ford replaced my slider because just the latch broke.

Is there anyone else come across this problem

Thanks

Grant

Check the rear seat belts. The belt tends to flutter in the breeze.

Might be the air coming in hitting the back window. My Lincoln MKX does it real bad. I can't even put the rear windows down because it hurts my ears

Are you talking about buffeting? If so that normal and affects most vehicles you need to adjust your other windows to minimize it. VW even has in the owners manual for some of their cars a section on how far to put the windows down in certain configurations to minimize it.

Not crew cab, but I always open the rear slider a bit which allows air to "pass through" rather than create buffeting that increases with speed. Having that powered slider is so convenient vs manual slider on my prior Nissan Frontier.

I know the noise your talking about but never had it from just opening the rear.

Wife actually commented the one day when I closed it that she didn't even know I had it open!

Buffeting air, it's sort of normal.
Really notice it tailgating large trucks on a motorcycle.
