Has anyone experienced a lot of wind noise on a new Tour.

I just picked up my new 42' Tour yesterday at Lazy days and found more Windnoise on this coach than I had on any other coach I have owned. (Country Coach Allure, Monaco Camelot, Revolution LE).
My wife loved the new floor plan so we ended up with the new Tour.
Does anyone know a fix??
Thanks

Our Ellipse had wind noise also and it was mostly cured by carefully sealing the driver's side window seams on the outside with black silicone. Somewhat disappointing for sure but the calking has fixed the problem with 10K on the coach. AND we love the floor plan!!

Had wind noise on our new '11 - 42'. I know you are not new to RVing, but have you checked to see if the unit came out of Forest City with the weep hole covers in place? Ours came without them. Put them on and no noise.

I would echo the weep hole covers on the driver's window. There were no covers on the 42AD when new. Putting the covers on (just snap in) and no noise at all.

I wish it was as easy as weep hole covers, but they are already on. I will try the black silicone maybe that might work, but the noise seems to be coming from the top of the coach. I had a motion sensor light put on to replace the standard porch light. Maybe that might be part of the problem. I am open to any and all suggestions on how to isolate the noise. I would even take it to a wind noise specialist if I knew where to find one. The noise is really terrible.

Thank you all for helping with this problem.
