75 MPH whistle?

Is the little whistle that my '02 Pro makes when I'm going around 75-80 common? Probably up in the intake or something, I'm not sure. It's not very loud, and I actually really like it...almost sounds like a turbo sound. Maybe it's just saying ZZZoom-ZZZoom!

The windshiled wiper thing?? I'm not believing it because if I'm going around 75-80 it does it, I take my foot off the gas and it stops immediatly...gas again and it starts.

It's not the wipers

If I take mine up to about 90 it will start doing this. Then it doesn't stop if I turn on my wiper blades. So it isn't the blades. Some people are saying that it is, but sorry,...nope. Some have gone to the dealer and had their seal in their windo replace and it has fixed it. You can try that. Good luck.

This probably won't make any sense but I'll say it anyway. I HAD the same problem. Mine is noticeable around 90mph. I agree, I don't think it's anything with the windshield wipers. AFTER I changed to the MP3 bumper, i don't hear it anymore. And there were times when I had the old bumper, going around 90, and I didn't hear it. Whatever the hell it is, it's not really a bad thing, cause we don't have any business doing 90mph for more than 5% of the time on the road : ). Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably revoke that comment.
