    None yet but I have a lot of ideas and questions.
    I have a '07 Taco Prerunner Sport with a strange noise from the hood area.
    Whenever I get above 70 or 80 mph or if it's windy out I get a strange high pitched whining noise. I don't know if it's a vibration from the hood scoop, the antena or something else. It's pretty annoying.
    Anyone else have this problem or know someone who has dealt with it? Any info on the cause or a fix would be appreciated.

    its pretty normal for whine noise, its the wind, trucks arent the most air dynamic vehicles

    To me it sounded like a kazoo. The dealer just reseated/resealed my windshield a couple weeks ago under warranty. I have been traveling so much lately I haven't been able to test it real well. I hope it is fixed. Time will tell...

    I noticed this same thing on my 2011 since i have had it. I belive it to be the hood scoop because it was only hapening at 90km plus and i would only notice it with cross winds. my 09 with no scoop never made a single sound like that.
