My expereince with this noise, if it's the same one you describe, is it happens with a strong headwind or crosswind, but not every time. Playing with the slider vents on the lower front door panels makes my flapping noise go away.

Hi volks,

This weekend I noticed a vibration noise up front that I've never had. It only occurs at about 50 and higher speeds and sounds like its in the dash or behind the grill, possibly. I've driven me van plenty of times at that speed but have never heard it before. I replaced the dash a few weeks ago but am sure I've had it to that speed since as well. I may have caused it while adjusting the vents. Before I noticed the sound I felt warm air blowing thru the two dash vents (defoggers) on the dash top near the windshield and down on me feet so tried to stop the warm air flow. I'm sure this warm air has been flowing all spring but it's just now warm enough to bother me.

Does anyone know of any kind of vent flapper noise at these speeds?

Thanks!
