[s-cars] [Fwd: S4 wind noise problem]

[mlp qwest]

Vince & Randy

I don't know if this is of any help, but whistling can be cause by something
as simple (& hard to find) as an extremely small hole, or crack or
separation in a body panel, i.e. the "join" you will find between the back &
the rim around you side rear view mirrors.

In my case I, serendipitously, found the source of an annoying high pitched
whistle in a car on loan to me was by running my finger around the join in
the mirror while driving down the highway at 60+ mph.  When my finger passed
over the crack, hidden in side the seam of the join, the whistle would stop.

~Other listers can confirm but a slight wind noise is normal and, AFAIK,
~part of the design of the car. The wind noise you hear when the window
~frame is not adjusted is seriously annoying and require the radio for
~long trips. On my car, I could always relate the wind noise to a part of
~the joint which was 1 or 2 mm away from the frame so if you checked all
~around the door and the joint was sticking to the frame every where, the
~wind noise should not be related to the window frame adjustment.
