Could it be the sub creating the pressure sensation / sound? I don't have the issue, at least that I notice, on our tahoe but a particular song came on on xm and even with radio quiet, it produced a low and frequent bass that was uncomfortable and almost felt like pressure in the ears. And I don't mind bass. Just a thought and perhaps it is connected to the active noise canceling.

*** FYI-- I just completed my 2nd theory as to what was creating the pressure and I think I'VE NAILED IT!! ***
I tried the AMP fuse pull.. It helped, but didn't completely get rid of the pressure... Failed.. for that idea... So let's move on to the next theory --
100% -- It's the noise cancellation system!!! Forget the roof separation.. Forget the tires... Forget the shocks... Forget EVERYTHING GM *thinks* is causing the pressure. The noise cancellation system is creating the pressure that I (and I would assume, everyone else) is feeling!! GM was determined to make this the quietest SUV in the market, but while doing so, I think they implemented an extremely harsh noise canceling system to achieve this!
To test my theory, I decided to go after the system that GM has YET to even consider -- NOISE CANCELING.
Our 2015 Yukon Denali has "cabin mics" covering the interior roof of the truck... There are 2 "mics" on each side of the driver's and passenger grab-handles, one directly above the driver's side sun-visor and one dead-center of the 2nd row seating... I removed the plastic grilles that designated these areas and replaced them w/ cotton balls and masking tape... Yes... Cotton balls and masking tape -- all with the hopes of "desensitizing" the sounds these "mics" are hearing... After having headaches on New Year's Eve, to feeling absolutely no issues after the "cotton ball" test, I've determined it is totally the Noise cancellation that is creating the pressure!!
It took me literally 10 minutes to locate the "mics", pull the grilles and tape them up!!
Anyone else w/ the pressure willing to try?
