: My car has a slight whistling noise when at speed. However, all I have to do is make sure the fan is in the "on" position, even at minimum, and the noise goes away. Seems to just be slight vacuum buildup in the cabin from the external air turbulence.

: : I seem to remember a post about noise inside the car, especially at higher speeds, from an air leak, or so it seems. I can't find it now, the post, even with archive searching. But anyway, I have this problem. Does anyone else, and is there a known source and solution? - Jeff '93 850ci

Thanks for the advice - I'll try it. The sound seems to be as if the sunroof seal or window seal was just barely not closed all the way. But they all are. As with high pitched noises sometimes, I can't pinpoint the source with my hearing. - JEA
