I have a 2016 that i recently replaced the windshield. When i accelerate past 50mph a strange low tone buzzing sound comes from the top middle part of the glass. The windshield does not leak as I have had several car washes since the replacement without any water leakage. Has anyone experienced this before or know of a reason and solution to the buzzing noise?

Thanks

I'm assuming this noise started after you had the new windshield installed. If that's the case, you could try temporarily applying some painter's tape across the windshield to roof seam to see if that changes or eliminates the sound, which might confirm that there is some missing adhesive allowing air to sneak through. Air can fit through spaces water cannot. Then start removing sections of tape, starting from the outer edges and working toward the center to better isolate where the issue is coming from.

Pretty common in these cars. After awhile mine just went away.
