    I remember reading a thread about the rubber weather stripping between the front of the hood and the grille causing some noise. Have you checked that out?

    I haven't considered the grille, that's an excellent idea. My guess is the stripping along the windshield, I can't pinpoint it, other than it's coming from the front.

    I had a whistling windshield on a past car (after it was replaced). Does your whistle change volume/pitch as you speed up and slow down?

    There's a TSB somewhere on here for whistling windshields. Seal up the windshield gasket with painters tape and see if it still whistles.

    It's your gasket between the top of the grill and the hood. Run a piece of 1/4 in duo line through it and your problem is solved.

    Mine made the same sound for the first 5,000 miles or so then it just went away? I now have 7500 and haven't hear it since

    I started noticing it a few weeks ago and remember reading somewhere about the "Taco whistle." I usually just turn the music up.
