All,

I could swear I'd already seen multiple mentions of this issue on this site in the past but can't seem to find any now. Anyway, after driving at highway speeds (70+) for prolonged periods, a very annoying "crackly" sound starts popping up on the passenger side of the vehicle. It seems to be worse as I pass large trucks which leads me to believe that it is related to wind and gets exacerbated by the gusts coming off the trucks. It is NOT your typical howling or harmonics wind noise caused by the roof rack or anything like that. I do have a lightbar installed on the Prinsu rack and ran the wire up the passenger side of the windshield but the noise was present before I put that wire there.

I've posted a video to YouTube where you can hear the crackling/rattling noise, particularly as I pass a large truck.

Anyone else have this issue?
