If one of the back windows is opened, there is a loud ringing like noise.

Well, I have a 2011 Tundra Double cab. When I open just one window in the back, for example, the back passenger window, and at speeds over 30 mph, it becomes really noisy inside my truck. Sounds like a loud ringing echoing noise. Is this normal? Is it just the tires making the noise while rolling on pavement? I have had this car for 2 years and never noticed this problem because I never rolled just one window in the back down before until last night.

The deep, thunderous "pulsing" sound you are hearing is not the same as a "ringing" sound like you originally described.

FWIW, that sound is due to the air circulation (intake and escape) inside the cab and happens on more trucks than you know. It's normal.

I get that thumping on my SUV with only the front windows down but not the back. Air gets in and it can't get out.

Yes...every car experiences this.

As far as a ringing sound...answer your damn phone! ha.

On my old 2002 Tundra Access Cab, it was noisy till I opened the rear window, but not the throbbing, ear-drum burster. My 2013 Double Cab does that, and unfortunately, I took the one on the dealer's lot, with a fixed rear window. I'm about to go on my first long trip a year and a half later, and I'm regretting that window. Thinking about replacing it with a slider. Anyone know how difficult it would be for someone to wire a power switch for that window?

Open your driver's window about 1/2" and it will stop...
