Every four door I have ever owned has done that. It is called wind buffeting.

 

Really?....wow...come to think of it, I have only had 1 other 4 door in my life, and it wasn't power windows, so I would have never rolled them down on my own. Come to think of it, I think they wouldn't roll down entirely (child proofed) which probably explains why I never heared it before.
On top of that, who really rolls down windows while driving now-a-days anyway. We usually turn on the A/C if we need air.

 

I roll down the windows all the time in warm weather. All 4 of them! I Only use air conditioning in very humid weather. I know what you mean about the noise. I've heard in my smaller cars, but not as bad as this. You get used to it. The first time I heard it in the Pat I thought I had a flat tire. Either roll down all 4 or use your air conditioner if it bugs you that much.

 

The Patriot User manual explains the wind buffeting and how to avoid it. Basically, you just need to open a front window also.

And of course, this is only a problem if you are moving, especially at higher speeds

 

Wow..I really gotta read this manual...is there anything interesting in it?
JUST KIDDING...
Ive been selective what I have read...I think the last thing I researched using it was to see what the idiot light was on the dash..turned out tires were low on air.
Thanks

 

happens all the time, can even happen in a sedan

 

I have a solution for that problem.

Don't open the rear windows when you're on the highway.

Easy wasn't it?

 

I have a easier solution... If you complain about stupid things, it means Jeeps werent meant to be for you. Go get a honda civic!

 

The obvious solution is there needs to be a 2 door Patriot! (I hate 4 door vehicles)

 

My xB does this as well. I notice it at speeds above 45 mph

 

Yea its happened in all my cars ......My old Skoda Superb was the worst offender, I thought I was being attacked by an Apache' anti-tank chopper!!

 

Ummm... a simple change in ambient air pressure shouldn't be so mystifying. Next we'll hear about Jeep engineers on trial for witchcraft.

 

X2 on the Apache helicopter! 01 Buick Regal was the worst I've ever heard. If you crack a front window just a tiny bit it will go away. I solved this issue by not having power windows, therefore the rear ones never open

 

During the summer when it is really hot and humid, I like to play Voodoo Child by Jimmy Hendrix roll down the windows and pretend I am back on a helicopter.
