My car has developed a nice whisting noise in the front around 50mph+ I hear it, everyday. I know what a bad wheel bearing sounds like, so I doubt it's that, it's just a straight semi high pitched whistle.
Sounds to be driver's side, but unsure.
Help?
brake pads possibly but i doubt it lol u never know those squeel pads do weird @!#$ sometimes. easy thing to check though
Ill get a pic of my car soon ;p

mine does this around 76 mph, sometimes lower on really windy days. anyways me and a friend were driving the other day and finally, after way too long, isolated the culprit down to one area. flipping down the visors and pushing up on the headliner "pushpins" (or whatever the hell they are) will make it stop when it is doing it or sometimes make it do it.
no clue how to fix it really, was just gonna pull the headliner off and see if i can trim down the ends off anything that might be vibrating together. BTW i have no leaks in the seal around the windshield or any air circulating through the seal as of yet.
I'm thinking it's more of an aerodynamic thing? I no longer have my fog lights, cause I sold them with my LS Sport bumpers, and now I have the stock 2k1 Z bumpers on for winter.
Could that be causing it?
mine does it on really windy days too, and I have no clue where it is coming from.

yeah the hole left by where the fogs were could do it. i once had a car top carrier and we lost the pin one time so i used a piece of tubing that just happen to fit the bill. the thing whistled pretty good. i suppose it could have worked as a deer warning too, lol.
good luck finding it.
it's that fake turbo thing you bought off ebay. you're supposed to put it in your muffler, not on your windshield wipers.
here's how u can make sure its not a cabin seal, turn ur HVAC blower on high, and get a spray bottel with soapy water, and spray anything around the car that can leak air in to the cabin
