nope, check the weatherstripping for holes or make sure the window is all the way up or check to make sure nothing is caught in the door.

drive down the highway and have someone sit in the back seat behind you and let them listen for where the air is coming from. other than that i dunno p.s. have fun with the dealership cuz warranty work takes forever if they do it right. i hope your dealership is better than mine

Don't blow up your Cobalt. Mine sometimes sounds like that, but I just turn up the music and all is good.

Do you have a sunroof? I notice if I drive with the door that covers it open it makes a whistle sound but when I close the door it stops

I have that too...usually at 110kph+ though and it depends what way the wind is going. If it's a cross wind it's louder. This car has way more wind noice than my Sunfire GT. I assume it's normal and i should have saved up for a BMW. haha.

Check the clearance between the top of the fender and the a pillar.Mine was touching and made a distinct vibrating noise,But this was from the passanger side and sounded like it was coming from the glove box.
There is a peice of calking behind the fender thats should hold it away but slid down or installed wrong.
