When driving in a cross wind the noise is at the front top corner of the door on the down wind side. It sounds like holding a blade of grass in your hands and blowing on the blade of grass. If you put a finger in the area you can feel the door move in and out from the wind so it is likely that this is a door seal issue the outer seal seems to buzz with the cross wind.

when on freeway , doing anywhere from 70 mph ( but more at over 80 mph ), the truck starts to develop a whistling noise. Like wind shooting thru a tunnel , really annoying ! It seems like it does it when there is a cross wind of sorts ? I took it in to our local Toyota dealer and I was told, "Sorry, there is nothing we can do....Can't have our techs test driving over the speed limit...." I asked them to note it and inform Toyota... there must be something they can do in wind tunnels or some way to check into this ? And I don't think I am the only one having this issue. They said they would, but I don't believe it. It would be nice if Toyota would contact me to verify the report and let me know if they are going to investigate the problem ? Seriously, it is really annoying. ( * note: this is not my only issue with the truck...)
Update from May 2, 2016: * Noise was first noticed around 1500 miles , doesn't do it all the time... only in certain conditions ... has done it a handful of times since.... always in the same or similar situation , where I am making a left turn in a driveway that has a good size dip. * I just picked up the truck and the Dealer says they could not duplicate the issue ? Use of the word " Frustration" , is a mild term at this moment....

There is a howling noise coming from the drivers side Door around the mirror. It occurs at about 60 miles per hour and appears to be worse when there is a cross wind. It is sporadic based on the wind and speed conditions.
