    First time posting so I apologize if this has been covered before. I have a 2012 Tacoma PreRunner 4cyl 2.7 Rear Wheel Drive that when im accelerating downhill makes a high pitch whistle/rubbing noise only at 55-65mph. It only does this downhill and while the gas pedal is pressed and only at that certain speed. If I let off the gas the noise goes away immediately. And if im going thay speed on flat roads or uphill theres no noise. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

    Lots of things it can be at this point. Might need to wait for the noise to worsen. First things that came to mind were the fan clutch and a pulley bearing.
