    I followed another thread for the whistling noise and found my problem. It was the rubber seal above the front grille. I took some 1/4 inch ( I think) refrigerator tubing to stiffen the seal up. No whistling anymore!

    I just took my first trip in my fully decked out 2012 ToyotaTacoma TRD. I went from LA to Las Vegas. As soon as I hit 70+ mph I got this noise. It stayed with me for 4 hours there and 4 hours back. I could not turn the radio up high enough to cover this up and I could not use on Bluetooth system because the noise was so loud. I was ready to set my truck on fire after 8 hours of this. I showed this to the dealer and they are going to try and figure it out next week. Wish me luck.

    saw your video- try putting a strip of packaging tape over the top of the windshield weather stripping then test it. in your video it seemed louder at the top of the windshield.

    For the 2012s with the whistle, there's a brandy new TSB out on it. Check tacomahq.com for details.
