I've scanned a few other posts on wind noise but haven't found what I am experiencing:

I hear a 'whooshing' noise at low speeds (parking garages, exiting my home garage) when I lean my head forward.

The noise seems to be coming from above and behind me. I don't use the rear doors that often right now (no kids yet) and I verifyt that windows are closed?

Anyone else experience this or am I being too vague?

When I lean my head forward and lower I also hear the same [rushing fan] noise. It's as-if your ear has entered an obscure area that is concealed - unless you enter into that space. The noise has nothing to do with outside wind or the car's ground speed. The increased noise (when leaning forward and lower) comes from the car's AC fans. I'm not sure if the ventilated seat fans add to the noise or not. As a check, I think you'll find that if you lower or turn Off the fan the noise will go away.

Seems like ventilated seats is on...turning it off will solve the wind noise.

I was quite surprised how loud the seat ventilation fan is when on high speed !
As soon as you lean forward and expose all those vent holes, she howls pretty good.

But I'm ok with that as I'm not leaning over that much while driving and having a dry back while sitting in black leather seats, is NICE !!!

Yep, I think what's happening is when you lean forward your back comes off the seat back and you hear the rush of the seat cooling vents. I've experienced this too. Try turning off the seat cooling and see if that stops it.

I hear the same noise when the seat ventilation is on.. thought it was normal.

Try it just the AC fan On, but without the seat ventilation On, and see if you still hear it when you lean forward and lower your head.

Thanks all. That is likely the issue. I have had seat vents set to auto since picking the vehicle up. We've had plenty of plus 105 days here in Vegas and a few above 110.

The sound of the shade on the rear window going up and down freaked me out when my car was new. Finally figured out what that strange sound was.

I've noticed and been wondering about that noise, but not enough to experiment and figure it out. Thanks
