I can’t remember the last car I had that did not do that. With 1 window down I have always had to crack open another window. Even my Audi has this problem
Pretty normal, but nobody ever talks about it. You open one window, and the air and all is associated air pressure comes in with no where to go. So you get that feeling in your ears as the air pressure inside your car builds up to overcome the incoming air velocity. Some goes out, only to be filled in again. Rotating process.

When you roll one window down, crack a back window open just an inch. Gives the incoming air an escape path.
You also get the chopper sound sometimes with just one window. whomp whomp whomp whomp

Lol i do this to my wife when we're on the road in our Kia Sorento, if I crack the back windows it gets so bad stuff starts to shake. Then i get smacked usually.

This has happens on almost every 4 door car. The amount of buffeting mainly depends on the car's speed and the wind.
How I get rid of buffeting is by opening the passenger side rear window an inch or two.

Welcome Aboard!(y)

Buy a set of Window Deflectors and that takes care of a lot of it.

Don't forget to introduce yourself and your Cruze here.
