whistle nosie at 80+ mph?????

hey everyone, i just got back from a road trip after dealing with a b.s. whistle noise, seemed to be comming from front windshield/driver side area. dealers have been useless. has anyone else encountered this issue?? any success with a solution??

 

Maybe a seal is leaking somewhere

 

Ever have your windshield replaced? How tight do your doors seal?

 

do you have a 2012? i remember reading somewhere about a leaky hood seal or something. Ill try to find it

 

Yea slow down. It's an audible alert...


JK. There is a tsb for the windshield Buffett.

Try putting some masking tape around the windshield and road test. If it's gone the tsb applies.

 

My windshield used to whistle like that...its a weak seal/gasket....have your windshield replaced and it'll go away

 

windshields still factory installed just double check all my seals, i dont see any cracks tears or issues

 

I've seen a fair amount of discussion on this.....High pitched buzz from the top of the windshield at speed particularily on a windy day. As mentioned there is a TSB on it. My '07 didn't do it but my '10 does under the above mentioned conditions. The next time it happens push on the top of your windshield at different spots and I think you'll find the noise changes.

Are you familiar with the TSB term?

 

If you have a '12 there are a couple of TSBs on it. You can search for them on the site.

 

if its not the windshield it could be this

Doesn't matter. Tape it up and drive it.

 

had the exact same thing on my 2011 my local dealership was useless and wudnt replace it cuz it didnt make the noise when they drove it. the one i bought it from though ( an hour away) replaced it without even driving it. problem solved

 

He should take the time and confirm the issue. No sense on playing with a windshield if it won't solve it.

 

Nope what the term tsb?

 

technical service bulletin...

 

I've had this issue from literally day one.

1) What are the key words I say to the stealership to get them to do the TSB?
2) What is it that is done to fix it? Complete windshield replacement? Shim? Caulk?
3) I wonder if this problem isn't maybe unique *only* to those with a hood scoop? It's obviously an aerodynamics issue, and having sat in both seats when it happens I notice it's in the middle, pretty much right where the scoop is. Anyone with a flathood have this problem?

 

My offroad does it. The "tabs" TSB fix didnt do anything. Resealing the window made it only happen at 90+ mph but it still does it somehow. Right by the rearview mirror only. It used to do it in a couple places. This is the high pitched kazoo sound right?

 

Here, see attached.

This is exactly what Toyota recommends. They should use tape to confirm the condition before performing the TSB work.

 

I hardly go over 60mph so I can't help you... lol

 

I have it when I have high cross winds and it sounds like a kazoo.
