    On my 2021 premium had the same issue. Picked up a 2022 Limited and heard the same noise. Checked the inner splash guards and replaced with zip ties. Zero change in noise (After test driving with parts removed) the next day... Ending in the same exact noise.

    On mine it sounded like it was from left front and had slight feedback through the steering wheel
    Had windshield trim removed and test drove again and noise was still present. With windshield trim removed, Applied silicone spray around perimeter of the windshield to lubricate. During test drive the noise was eliminated. Had the Windshield removed and resealed and issues was corrected. the windshield was not defective or cracked. It appears that the sealant, depending on how it was applied, left a slight "tail" right in the left top area of the windshield in what I can only say caused a creaking type noise based off of normal body shifting during operation. The excess sealant was contacting the windshield seam at the body.

    I understand this sounds odd but I did get out of premium to a Limited in an attempt to correct this exact issue.
