My Car Whistles.....

[DaPlaya]

Hey Peeps.

Did a search but didn't pull up much, I was wondering if any of you VS owners here have inherited a whistle in there car? at about 50 - 70 K's per hour my car develops an anoying whistle, it's not loud it's just noticable and anoying.

It also seems to be only comming from the drivers side, while I've been driving i've checked Mirrors, windscreenwipers, windows. it's not the mirrors as I've had the window down and pulled the mirror towards me and away from me (spring loaded designed to withstand small nocks) and that's not it, it's not the wipers as i put them on and the whistle is still there, and it can't be the window cause it happens when it's down.

any thoughts? anything else I should check. I was thinking the windscreen maybe

Whistling in the dark

My ute has a whistle as well - at least I think it is an air flow noise, it begins to kick in around 40 - 50 kmh.
I can't localise mine either - was thinking it might be coming from one of the door/window mouldings.
I also think it is more on the drivers side, but then so am I...

My guess would be door seals.... or a supercharger

Oh yeah forgot it could be the SC lol.. but I don't have one

door seals eh.. hmmm, i'll check it out, would make sense since the drivers door is generally used more than anyother, which creates more wear...

I have a whistle too but its only while accelerating. I think it could be a loose vacuum pipe or something.

definatly whistle, I've had my fair share of, diffs, wheel bearings, gearboxes, etc.

it's faint but noticable and anoying. I'm sure it's wind whistle as when going below 40kph it's not there (not enough wind to whistle, try half heartedly whistling by just blowing air) and when over 70kph the wind is to strong so a whistle can't occur....

check mobile phone aerial.

try the glove box mate as when im driving and i open it up. you can hear the whistle louder!

check mobile phone aerial.

errr Mobile phone aerial? please enlighten me as to what you mean. I have no car kits, not mobile phone aerials outside the vehicle, my mobile phone hasn't even got an aerial, do you mean the cars aerial?

that could be a point, I don't actually have an aerial, as it has snapped off, maybe the wind over the aerial whole could be creating a whistle.

open the glove box. ok i'll see what I get
