When wind blows past the circular eave exhaust pipe, it creates a negative pressure in the duct and causes the bathroom fan flap to open and close. This is a normal situation, not a defect. You may want to do a search for other threads on this topic. As I recall, one poster recommended a different exhaust fan that is quieter than the builder installed fan. But, most people just live with the occasional noise.
