Flapping noise

[DemonGT]

Started to hear this flapping noise at highway speed. Sound is on passenger side. The noise changes with air speed. Kinda sounds like its behind glove box?

Looked in door jam and glanced under car and under hood and couldnt find anything.

Anyone else experience this? Just started a week ago.

Checked your inner fender liner?

Check all aero parts under the car. Something is missing a fastener.

Haven't there been instances of part identification tags coming loose and making a flapping, card in the spoke, kind of noise?

This is very likely your answer, OP. The fender liners like to pop loose. Along with the front fascia clips.

Check all the pins that secure the rocker panels to the body - they come loose as well.

Check the driveshaft if it’s still the factory driveshaft - the label on it is known to come loose and flap around.

That happened to me too. Then my wife took this picture and it was just my tongue flappin' in the wind.

Went under the car and the only thing I could find loose on passenger side was this silver cover over some odd plug? Its not just "a little loose", it flops around. Anyone know what this connector is and does everyone else's flop or is it secured with something?

I cant understand what the purpose would be to have a connector under the car?

Different cars come with different options. It's often more economical for a manufacturer to use a single harness with the ability to plug into everything even if a particular car isn't being equipped with everything.
A couple of examples, not every car comes with magnaride, or a differential temp sensor, or memory seats or numerous other things but often the plugs and wiring are already there anyway. It can be a huge help to the DIYers when adding features.
If you think that's the source of your noise then zip tie it to something solid and see if it helps.

My car does not have magnaride, thats what popped in my head when looking at the connector was it was something for magnaride equipped cars.
