Humming sound.

Ive searched all threw the forums and cant find anything that relates to my problem about this windshield noise that I get. When I'm drive on the highway I get like this chattering sound coming from the Small Windshield wiper. Im guessing the wind is hitting the small wiper and its making this annoying sound its super loud. Im guessing there is no fix to making this sound go away?

I think I found the problem I was searching for the wrong words.

Turn the blade around. Common issue and easy fix.

ahhh yes. I searched Wiper Rattle and wiper vibrating and came up with a number of items. even wiper came up with a few hits. that's the problem with search, it only knows what you type... not really what you want. hmmm I need to invent a psychic search

Looks like there's a few different threads addressing this (or similar issues). hopefully one of them has a solution.

Yup. I am absolutely HORRIBLE at finding anything anywhere. I even have trouble on Google and I don't know how people do it. If I find something, it's only because I got lucky. I can try to search for something I posted or whatever and when I try to find it through Google, it says " 0 results"!!

One other noise that can come from that lower passenger-side window area is the corner trim piece vibrating against the glass. Fixed mine with a little silicone under it.

I wonder if this is what I've been hearing. I was thinking it was related to the fact my bumper hangs a hair lower than it should be leaving a little gap with the hood, which is also dented.

Mine, is more of a low tone whistle.

The thing is, I ONLY hear this when going around 35-45 MPH on a very specific section on Waukegan Rd in North field. I've not noticed this anywhere else.

Weird.
