CM Wind Noise, Buzz, Vibration at 65mph 2008 C6

I purchased a new leftover 2008 in June. Have 2000 miles on it now, and just took it on a major highway for the first couple times. When going between 65 - 80mph or so there is an occasional vibration/buzzing sound near where the dashboard and windshield meet. I believe it is outside, maybe in the cowl area or wiper. Very hard to tell, but it's fairly loud and noticeable when it happens. Seems like it's wind related, the first time I noticed it was a windy day (30+mph winds) and twice when it happened I felt the car being pushed from the passenger side as the gust hit the car. Anyone have any ideas?

HI there,
It very well could be the cowl screen.

Tape it to the windshield to see if it goes away.

Allthebest, c4c5

Will give that a shot, thanks for your help. I'll have to wait for the snow to melt.

Check the cabin filter. I had an oak leaf in mine that would buzz at any speed over 45. Drove me crazy for 6 months.
