Default Annoying REAR Wind Noise

Lately, I've been noticing that when I get up to around 50 mph, a strange noise is coming from the rear. To me, it sounds like a wind noise, perhaps something with the spoiler. Anyways, the best I can explain the noise is it sounds like paper is sort of flying around in the back. It's very irritating and hasn't always been there. Could anyone offer a solution? Thanks.

Make sure the trunk lid is closed all the way and tight, also check the rubber seals.

I always keep the trunk closed . Are you talking about the seals that are between the body and the trunk itself?

Yes, make sure that the adjustment stops on the left and right side are tight and that the weather stripping isn't torn or loose

Try adjusting the rubber stops and lubricating the entire rubber seal with silicon grease.

It's almost the same sound I get when there is some bass in the song i'm playin. It sounds like the vents in the bumper that flutter. Ugh it's so annoying. I will try lubricatin soon.

My SRT has the same sound. I've been looking for it for 2 years and still haven't found it. Its not adjustment or seal lubrication. With windows up, turn your vent fan off while traveling approx. 30+ MPH, it's there, turn the vent fan on it stops. Thats the only common denominator for the sound on my SRT. I hope someone can solve this one.
