My 22 is doing the same thing. I remember seeing this thread though and I'm glad it popped back up.

My 22 4XE is doing this as well, I actually notice a buffeting noise or like a weird pressure when shutting the door. I’m going to try this pool noodle fix and see if it works!

‘22 JLUR experiencing the same. Did the 3.5 inch tall pool noodle pieces remedy from a few posts back which solved the issue. I have some Hothead Headliners on order. Going to see if the headliners alone solve the issue. If not, I’ll incorporate the pool noodle pieces too.

I have a 22 2-door. Pressure when closing the door. Gives me horrible ear/headaches. Would the sound be coming from above the soundbar/sportbar area?

That's odd. There's some venting in the tailgate if you remove the panel. Maybe they're stuck closed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I checked the venting… added a headliner. This has been going on since I bought the Jeep 6 months ago. Interior sounds hollow And echoing. Some days my ears ring.

It has not stopped with the 2023 models... we just drove a 2023 Sahara 4xe home, and the minute we hit our dirt/gravel road it started. Just about can't stay in the vehicle with it. I'm going to try to stack a few of these cut to the correct height. Got them from Amazon a while back.

Interesting. This isn't something I've noticed in the short time I've owned my 2023, but then I always have music playing, so it's likely being masked for now.

This could be one of those "I didn't know I had a problem until I saw someone else post their problem" thing for me 😆

I hate those kind of problems. Just don't even tell me about it if I haven't noticed it.

I tried the foam... did not fix it here. I wedged it very tight all across the back bar, sides and some on the front bar... still hearing the noise. Bummer.

I have never noticed this on my 2021 4-door. I do have the Hotheads headliners though, so maybe they do enough to quiet it down since they are semi-rigid themselves. I added the Hotheads not long after I got it so maybe it did it originally and I just forgot/never noticed it.
