It’s very similar to the sound of vehicle makes when you’re going down the highway and somebody cracks a single window in the back. It’s really just the ‘sonic feeling/thumping’ that goes along with that not the roaring sound.

16 Denali short bus without the issue.

the exact year the buffeting noise was the problem

years '15 thru '20


it seems very hit or miss. & GM has no clue how to fix it.

to me it seems more of a tolerance stacking type issue... so 1 or more of the items discussed in multiple threads here could be fix when tied together


as already mentioned , go test drive &
make sure to try as many road types as possible & speeds btwn 25-75 (or so)

good idea to bring some other folks w/ you. as some have more sensitive ears than others.

A larger power amplifier on your audio system will help fix the issue, as well.

Gents,

I now am going to shift gears on you a bit, what is the ride & drive differences if you are comparing a 2017 Tahoe LT to 2016 Yukon SLT both with the 5.3L and neither have tow package so I assume the same gearing but I have gotten that deep. I am wondering about ride, cabin noise and general driving pleasure.

I do pull a 19' fishing boat at times (not as much as I would like) and general round town and short (< 500 mile) highway trips.

Your thoughts and experience is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Virtually no difference. Only in the Denali which has adjustable ride.

2016 Tahoe LT [82K miles] without the issue.

Never had this issue in my Tahoe or Yukon. Drive the one you want before you buy.
