    At certain rpms and loads I hear a subtle whistle. It is not a shrieking sound and not very loud. I think it is the rushing air intake. Anyone notice this and is there a fix.

    It may be the holes in your control arms acting like a flute. Put some tape over them and see if it goes away.

    It's to compliment the howling rear diff, rattling dash and door panels, chirping fuel pump ,creaking leafsprings, and kazoo weather stripping. Did i leave anything out guys? It's the Tacoma Jug Band!

    I do not think it is the arms, not speed dependant. It happens at a certain time when feathering the throttle from load to no load. If had to guess it happens when the valve timing shifts to atkins cycle.
